The first defines an elevated platform of 400m2, where a large roof is installed, supported by a metal structure organized into structural modules of 4x6m, forming a single slope of 23° to the north, ideal for capturing solar energy. The elevation of the roof also allows for the creation of double-height spaces for the installation of shelves necessary for the production of the biofactory.
