Vertical Forest Tower to be World’s First Building Covered with Evergreen Trees

Italian architect Stefano Boeri will build this incredible 117-meter tall vertical forest tower in Lausanne, Switzerland. This sustainable residential building will be the first building in the world to be covered in evergreen trees. The tower is named ‘la tour des cadres’, offers stunning views over Lake Geneva and will be home to more than 100 trees, 6,000 shrubs and 18,000 plants.

A sustainable residential building, a project for metropolitan reforestation that contributes to the regeneration of the environment and urban biodiversity without the implication of expanding the city upon the territory. It is a model of vertical densification of nature within the city that operates in relation to policies for reforestation and naturalization of large urban and metropolitan borders

The impressive vertical forest will start appearing from 2017.. when it will be finished is still unclear..
