# State-of-the-Art Robotic Dairy Farms Bosske Architecture Boasts the Farming Facility of the Future By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-06-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-dairy References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/05/28/bosske-architecture-red-dairy-farm-australia/) & [bosske.au](http://bosske.com.au/) This robotic dairy farm is located in Northcliffe, Australia. New technological advancements are inserting themselves in daily rituals and methodologies of work. It really comes as no surprise that the [agricultural industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agriculture-robot) would be impacted by it. This industrial complex is designed by Bossake Architecture. Spanning a total of 9,000 square meters, the project accommodates "a [robotic milking shed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-processing-facility) and a visitor center." The state-of-the-art facility is owned by Bannister Downs Dairy and individuals are welcome to observe the ethical and sustainable farming practices that the firm engages in. A robotic dairy farm has other perks that go beyond efficiency and convenience. For example, the "cows can choose their own milking time" thanks to the implementation of a "24-hour voluntary milking" service.
