A house among trees

“25 Green” is a five-Story residential building in Turin, Italy with over 200 trees growing out of its balconies and roof.   The residential unit produces over 150.000 liters of oxygen per hour during the day and consumes 200.000 liters of carbon dioxide at night.

The building is built in steel and it looks like a forest with trees rooted in terraces with irregular shapes.   Ponds and lush gardens cover the roofs. The building is like a living forest.  Not only do the trees clean the air around the building but also dampen noise pollution, provide shade, and help regulate the building’s temperature.
The residential unit is like a child's dream of a treehouse but in a bigger scale.
