Imagine Building This Giant IKEA Spherical Garden

Imagine Building This Giant IKEA Spherical Garden

Difficulty level: Uncharted.

Okay, you might need a friend—or maybe a small construction team—to get this one done.

Space10, a Denmark-based company supported by IKEA, has released instructions on how to build The Growroom.

As you can tell, it’s an incredible wooden spherical garden for those living in urban cities.

It was created to encourage people living in high-density areas to grow their own food locally. By bringing nature into urban areas, the company hopes to “tackle the rapidly increasing demand for significantly more food in the future.”

There’s a clever reason behind the spherical, layered design. Space10 explains, “The overlapping slices ensure that water and light can reach the vegetation on each level, without reaching the visitor within and thereby functions as a growth activator for the vegetation and shelter for the visitor.”

The catch is: It’s entirely self-assembled.

It’s a 17-step instruction process, which doesn’t sound so scary, until you read the fine print. You will also need 17 sheets of plywood, a CNC machine, a table saw, two hammers and a screwdriver.

Take a look at the instructions here.

Pretty sure by the time you’ve built yourself a garden, you’d look something like this:
