Miravle Wall Garden

Elegant AI powered hydroponic garden.

Urban and mobile dwelling users crave fresh produce but lack space, time, or gardening know how. Miravel solves this by offering a compact, minimal, and automated hydroponic system that blends seamlessly into interiors, enabling effortless home cultivation.

Urban gardening reimagined, fresh food meets modern living.

Miravel, designed by RKS Design, wall garden in your own home

Starting with immersive ethnographic research, we observed target users, busy urbanites, apartment dwellers, and first time gardeners to uncover their motivations and intimacy with nature. Applying our proprietary Psycho‑Aesthetics methodology helped us create a product that isn’t just functional, but emotionally fulfilling. We discovered emotional barriers: lack of space, fear of failure, and a need for beauty in everyday objects. These insights grounded our approach in a design that feels as much like art as it does a garden.

How We Used Psycho-Aesthetics™ to Identify Unique Opportunities in the Project.

Using our proprietary Psycho-Aesthetics® 2.0 framework, we conducted in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation in diverse lab settings. We identified key emotional and usability pain points — such as intimidation with complex interfaces, workspace clutter, and trust in precision. These insights guided both the form and interface strategy, ensuring approachability and confidence in operation.

A storyboard showcases the design process for a wall-mounted herb garden system, including research, sketches, technical drawings, prototype renderings, user testing, materials, and final product visuals.

We created a slim, wall mounted frame featuring two modular hydroponic pods. This design allows easy detachment for pruning or cleaning, while delivering a clean, architectural presence. Materials were carefully selected to ensure durability and visual warmth in a modern home setting.
