vertical forest in the netherlands

January 22nd, 2018

“The verdant affordable housing complex will rise high above Eindhoven” – this is how Trudo Vertical Forest is introduced by Global citizen – an online magazine for people who want to learn about and take action on the world’s biggest challenges. 

Already regarded as one of the Netherlands’ greenest cities, Eindhoven features several prominent parks, beautiful gardens, and a dense network of bicycle paths. Now, a newly-proposed by Stefano Boeri Architetti environmental project may be its most important environmental project yet.

A stunning 19-story Trudo Vertical Forest will house 125 low-income families. More than 5,000 plants will cover the building’s facade and dangled from its unique terraces in a style reminiscent of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
