Luciano Pia is an architect from Italy, has wonderfully designed a five story complex apartment which is located in Turin, Italy.A vertical potted forest includes trees and steel girders look like branches and allow residents to feel like they are living in a urban treehouse.This urban treehouse called 25 Verde means 25 Green.25 Verde protects its residents from noise pollution and reduces air pollution in the surrounding.
Lucuano Pia wrote on his website, "the building has been thought as a living forest, a house on the trees like the houses children dream of and sometimes build."
It contains 150 tall trees to absorb approximately 200,000 liters of carbon dioxide an hour and 50 more trees are planted in the courtyard of 63 units building.The seasonal change create perfect microclimate inside the building so temperature falling and rising remain steady in winter and summer.In summer plants foliage block sun rays and in winter allowing sun light to let in.
It is a special building because it is alive: it grows up, it breaths and it changes since 150 trees with tall trunks cover its terraces."
The building has many features such as sun protection, continuous insulation.He wrote the major aim of the project is the increase of the energetic efficiency, continuous insulation, sun protection, heating and cooling systems which make use of the geothermal energy with heat pumps and recycling of the falling rain to water the green.”
Species of plant has been chosen to get the best variety of colours and flowers."When all the green is fully blooming it gives the feeling of living in a tree house." “You can dream of a house or live in a dream!”
Its construction was started in 2007 and ended in 2012.
