Hi Jenny,
Your highrise greenhouse is great and being a little closer to the sun
is no bad thing
I`ve posted a picture of the greenhouse during construction so you`ll
have an idea what it may look like once i get it finished.

WOW - shades of the Eden project :~)

As for the aquaponics, i have a little experiment going on with some
chillies to test the theory out and so far its looking good but i`m
running out of space rapidly.
All they have to grow in is fishwater and they have been in that since
they germinated.
They were pretty tiny as you can see from the pics:

The big picture was taken on 16th march and the tallest are about 13"

The droopy leaves are due to the cold night temperature i think, as
they pick up in the day when it gets warmer.
This is my first attempt at growing chillies by any method so i`m not
sure what they need but they seem to be doing fine so far

Interesting concept. I know about hydroponics but had not heard about
aquaponics.
It seems like you might need lots of fish to produce enough waste matter to feed
the plants.
What's the fish per cubic metre water ratio ?
