Innovation in the agricultural industry has certainly seen an uptick in recent years and this rural modular farm in Cret Viljevski near the town of Donji Miholjac in Croatia is a great example. Harnessing principles of smart design, architecture firm Skroz designed this structure for Sin Ravnice—"one of the first professional breeders dedicated to the long-neglected Slavonian Black pig, which is indigenous to the Slavonia region of eastern Croatia."
The Eco Pig Farm, which has a lattice-like exterior, focuses on eco-farming and its design strives to meet the highest standards for raising organic livestock. Skroz's floorplan features two identical barns, with a farmyard and a manure pit in between. Pastures are located behind the structures.
