Vertical forest apartment has an astonishing 404 trees

Abstract

Easyhome Huanggang Vertical Forest City Complex, located in Hubei province, is the first Chinese vertical forest apartment building designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti China. Huanggang Vertical Forest combines open and closed balconies. "Thus, the inhabitants of the residential towers have the opportunity to experience the urban space from a different perspective while fully enjoying the comfort of being surrounded by nature." The vertical forest covers an area of 4.54 hectares and consists of five separate towers. Two of which are residential and designed as vertical forests. It's a new green way of designing mixed-use buildings, which include residential spaces along with hotels and large commercial spaces. The plantings of the Vertical Forest are sourced from local species. The middle-sized shrubs and smaller shrubs are hibiscus mutabilis, elaeagnus pungens, nandina domestica and euonymus alatus.
