Hydro Tree – Biomimetic Hydroponic System Design

A biomimetic hydroponic growing system inspired by the natural structure of a tree, designed to maximize planting density, light exposure, and water efficiency.

• Developed the product concept based on biomimicry and natural tree architecture.

• Designed a central trunk for nutrient and water circulation.

• Integrated branch channels to distribute the nutrient solution to multiple growing trays.

• Applied the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) for efficient hydroponic growth.

• Designed a closed-loop system that recirculates excess nutrient solution back to the reservoir.

• Integrated a hidden pump and nutrient reservoir into the product base.

• Created a modular and scalable structure for different environments and capacities.

• Optimized plant distribution for improved natural light exposure and high-density growing.

Applications: Urban Farming, Restaurants, Homes, Schools, and Research Labs.
