In total, they will incorporate 2,640 trees and 27,600 shrubs into the facades, along with “a system of greenhouses and hydroponic gardens.”
According to the office, the project with them skyscrapers was commissioned by investment initiative Impact One to bring the benefits of ‘urban forestry’ to Dubai.
