Plants adapted to thrive in rocky crevices will take over the facade of this tower for Nantes by French architect Edouard François.
Plants will grow inside stainless steel tubes on the Tour Végétale de Nantes.
The tubes will take up little space on each host balcony but will provide leafy surroundings for inhabitants while showcasing species collected by the local botanical gardens.
The building will comprise a plinth containing retail and parking, offices enclosed in a black rubber cube and the residential tower with shifting, elliptical balconies.
François is renowned for architecture that incorporates plants, including the Parisian Eden Bio social housing development completed in 2009. More details in our earlier story.
