Design Concept: Hanging gardens

The concept building's primary structure consists of a central series of steel frames from which all floors are suspended. All apartment units are modular so that the configuration and aggregation of units can be adapted to market demands. The overall building is covered with a steel-mesh, allowing a space in between it and the building for balconies  or service corridors. The steel mesh also provides a base for climbing plants, providing synthesis with an urban and natural landscape.
