According to their website, Space10 is a "future-living lab and exhibition space" in Copenhagen with a mission to:

According to Space10, "The overlapping slices ensure that water and light can reach the vegetation on each level, without reaching the visitor within and thereby functions as a growth activator for the vegetation and shelter for the visitor."
Space10 explains that it doesn't make much sense to start shipping food grown in The Growroom overseas when they're trying to promote local food production. So, the design created by Sine Lindholm and Mads-Ulrik Husum is now available to the public so everyone can build their very own Growroom.
