There are 150 trees built into and around this building!
It's as close as you can come to living in an Ewok village in the middle of a city. Luciano Pia designed 25 Verde, an apartment building in Turin, Italy. It's designed so that the difference between inside and outside is blurred. There are 63 units in the 5-storey structure. The 150 trees provide shade and, the designer claims, help clean the air. You can see more photos of it at Colossal.
Nice. But trees grow, don't they? This house won't stand for long.
