What began as a mission to eliminate the distance between mushroom farms and consumers’ plates has flourished into state-of-the-art indoor farms located in Brooklyn, Austin, and Los Angeles. The company’s high-yield, low-impact farms are all digitally connected by the latest in mushroom-supporting, climate-controlling technology. After we assessed the project, planned out design-build requirements based on the mushrooms to be grown, and the conditions required, we outlined the budget and timeline parameters. Our part in Smallhold’s success was helping the company adhere to its environmental principles, ensuring their farm achieved maximum water efficiency and smart energy usage.
From the beginning, we collaborated with architects, engineers, and agricultural experts to develop a conceptual design that included layout, room divisions, equipment placement, and environmental controls systems. We further defined space usage by accounting for growing rooms, preparation areas, packaging spaces, and storage areas.
Throughout the project, Climate Solutions was responsible for developing detailed design plans and engineering drawings including structural design, while also procuring electrical system equipment, HVAC parts, lighting solutions, and water supply systems, making sure to optimize space utilization and energy conservation as we proceeded.
With the help of contractors and construction teams, we installed and set up the equipment according to the engineering design and manufacturer’s specifications, ensuring adherence to timelines, quality standards, and safety protocols.
