back to basics

Do you live in town and long for a little green in your life? 

How about this for inspiration?

In Antwerp, Belgium, a young couple work hard all day and live on the fifth floor of an old brick building, a former factory.  They feed their need for green with their very own mini farm!  on the roof! 

I can't imagine the logistics of hauling sheep up to the roof pastures, or being sure that the chickens don't fly overboard but it seems to work pretty happily.

The couple have a sure eye for detail and have put together a couple of 'rooms' in a former orangery, using old materials.

Given enough energy and creative ideas, there's always a way to live as we long to!
