\"Wonderwoods<\/div>\n

Italian studio Stefano Boeri Architetti<\/a> has completed the Wonderwoods Vertical Forest in Utrecht, the Netherlands<\/a>, a 104-metre-tall mixed-use<\/a> tower wrapped by balconies supporting hundreds of trees and thousands of plants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in Beurskwartier, a new car-free district in the centre of Utrecht<\/a>, the 31-storey Wonderwoods Vertical Forest forms part of the wider mixed-use Wonderwoods development, which includes an adjacent, smaller tree-covered block by local studio <\/span>MVSA<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As well as providing 200 apartments in varying sizes, Wonderwoods Vertical Forest contains shops, leisure areas and offices above bicycle parking and public squares at ground level.<\/p>\n

On the development’s seventh storey, a bridge connecting the Vertical Forest to the adjacent MVSA building incorporates additional public gardens and restaurant spaces overlooking the city.<\/p>\n

“After the Trudo Vertical Forest<\/a>, Wonderwoods Vertical Forest is the first Bosco Verticale in the Netherlands that hosts public functions and is open to all citizens, with the aim of making this new architectural typology increasingly integrated with the urban fabric and accessible to all,” Stefano Boeri Architetti<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

Depending on the apartment size, the typical floor layout gives each access to at least one of the tower’s plant-filled balconies, which are organised in a stepped arrangement to ensure sufficient natural light and headroom for the trees to grow.<\/p>\n

The tower is the latest in a series by Stefano Boeri Architetti that began with the first Vertical Forest or Bosco Verticale prototype built in Milan in 2014.<\/p>\n

Similar to previous Vertical Forest projects, Wonderwoods was constructed using a steel and concrete structure with prefabricated facade and balcony elements, finished in white concrete and terrazzo tiles.<\/p>\n
