Huanggang Vertical Forest City ComplexAfter four years, Stefano Boeri Architetti has completed the Easyhome Huanggang Vertical Forest City Complex. It covers an area of 4.54 hectares, and has been designed to create a new green complex capable of integrating buildings for residences, hotels and large commercial spaces. The complex was intended to meet the daily needs of residents, temporary guests, inhabitants and tourists. It comprises five towers, two of which are residential and designed as vertical forests capable of providing a new life experience for the surrounding urban and natural area. The two residential towers, 80 metres high, are a form of 'vertical forest' with over 400 trees, 4,620 shrubs, and 2,408 sq. metres of perrenials, flowers and climbing plants that will absorb 22 tons of CO2 and produce 11 tons of oxygen per year. The floors have cantilevered elements, with open and closed balconies, that interrupt the regularity of the building and create a continuous ever-changing movement. Local species of trees have been selected, mostly Ginkgo biloba.
