Home Gardens by Snigdha Ray

Home Gardens by Snigdha Ray is a hydroponic student housing project that treats farming as part of the interior environment. Instead of pushing food production outside, the proposal brings it into daily domestic life.

The project is useful because it links student living, food, technology and spatial experience. It asks what housing could become if growing, studying and living were designed together.

Hydroponics as domestic infrastructure

The project reframes farming as interiority, using hydroponic systems as an alternative to conventional backyard gardens. That gives the student house a productive role rather than treating planting as decoration.

• The housing concept links living space with food production.
• Hydroponics makes farming possible within the interior.
• Revit, Lumion and Photoshop were used to communicate the project.
• The proposal gives student living a stronger ecological and practical agenda.

Why the idea is portfolio-friendly

Home Gardens is easy to understand because the premise is direct. A reader can quickly see the relationship between student housing and indoor farming.

The next step in a stronger portfolio would be to show how the system affects plan, section, light, maintenance and everyday routine. That is where the architectural value becomes clearer.

Architecture Social view

Stephen would encourage candidates to avoid hiding good ideas inside short biographies. If the project is about hydroponic housing, lead with that idea and then use the candidate background to support it.

Next step

Submit your student, graduate or practice project to Architecture Social Showcase if it has a clear idea and useful project evidence.
