This Urban Treehouse Is Designed To Keep Away Noise & Air Pollution

louisejohnston

There’s something we can all learn from this development in Turin, Italy. Designed by Luciano Pia, this urban treehouse integrates city life with green energy. Residents of the 63 luxury apartments get the benefits of living in the city centre whilst being protected by air and noise pollution.

The structure has over 150 tress planted on all levels that absorb a whopping 200,000 litres of carbon monoxide every hour. Not only does it look amazing this type of architectural design could be the future for concrete jungles.
