The Green House was developed by Albron and designed by Cepezed. MOSS contributed as Green Architect, integrating an urban farming concept along with indoor and outdoor greenery to connect visitors to urban agriculture.

the living restaurant experience

The concept emphasizes connection to nature. Our planting design brings edible plants, herbs, and seasonal greenery into the restaurant, bringing attention to the vitality of a direct relationship between growth and consumption.

from seed to table

The circular food-production system behind The Green House Utrecht: crops are grown, harvested, served, composted, and replanted in a continuous closed-loop cycle. By integrating urban farming, local food production, and waste-to-resource principles, the project reconnects people with nature while reducing environmental impact.
