The ventilation system focused on preventing the ripening effect of ethylene gas on produce, while the materials that were selected had particular physical properties such as thermal conductivity, that made them ideal to preserve certain types of produce. 2D and 3D ideation was conducted to understand proportions, ergonomics and modularity.
The final concepts include a preserving and a cleaning system. The habitatprovides 4 containers with metal, wood and glass lining that provide 3 ideal environments (cool/dry, cool/moist, warm/dry). Pure is a cleaning system that provides a measuring cup to apply the right proportion of vinegar to a washing container. The system also includes a strainer and a brush to remove residue from produce. Both concepts were developed in CAD and prototypes were built.
