Galvanized steel, mill-finished aluminum, and access doors/portals painted "Farmall red" visually tie it to the other buildings on the farm. Harvesting the sun with its broadside facing south, the building utilizes the Dutch Venlo greenhouse kit-of-parts system, organizing its diverse program into three zones with associated glazing strategies. The central zone, designed for maximum program flexibility, uses clear glass to provide unencumbered views out to the fields and sky above. Translucent glass offers the most diffuse, ideal growing environment in the eastern and western zones, which include an herb garden and space for germination and plant growth.

In the center zone, the ever-present kitchen supports daily food and bakery production made from ingredients grown on the farm. It also anchors Granor's highly successful dinner-at-the-farm program that incorporates movable furniture over the ground concrete floor, allowing the space to quickly transform from a production facility to a place for community and dining events. Bookending the main social space, two Douglas Fir clad volumes provide strategic separation between the zones, housing the mudroom/wash sink, pantry, and chef's office.

The wood softens the cool finishes while screening the acoustic absorption that wraps the volumes' five faces. Overhead shades and automatic venting temper reverberation, making an acoustically comfortable social space. Growing, gathering, nourishing; a beacon on the farm for food, community, and more.
