The apartment ‘La Tour des Cedres’, will be a 36-story green tower and will be home to more than 100 trees, 6,000 shrubs and 18,000 plants which will spread roughly to 3,000 square meters of green space.

The plants will protect the apartments from dust, harsh winds, noise pollution and will also give a pleasant view.

This is the second project with such idea by Boeri. Previously in Milan he designed two such 112m towers.
