Under the plant container is a water container, a container that allows excess humidity to drain from the plants and enables insects to drink without drowning. Under the water container is a roof that protects wood blocks during rain, which is an insect headquarters with drilled holes facing the center.
The project has a prototype on a scale of 1: 1.
