Urban Mushroom Farm Pops Up in Olson Kundig Architects’ Seattle Storefront

Each month the storefront of Seattle-based Olson Kundig Architects’ studio gets a makeover, and March will be no exception as the awesome design space is becoming an experimental installation in the form of a mushroom farm!

Design team CityLab7 collaborated with the architecture studio to create an educational interactive space to display 215 oyster mushroom grow bags, giving an example of how small-scale urban farming really works. As a homage to a city renowned for its coffee culture, visitors to the space will also see how coffee grounds donated from local cafes can be recycled into compost, becoming an essential component of city agriculture.
