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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaushala). Skroz's floorplan features [two identical barns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fienile-n), with a farmyard and a manure pit in between. Pastures are located behind the structures.
