The Brazilian website Casa e Jardim has published an article titled “Torre verde mais alta dos Países Baixos tem 104 m de altura e 50 mil plantas”, dedicated to Wonderwoods Vertical Forest, the first mixed-use vertical forest built in the heart of Utrecht by Stefano Boeri Architetti.
The project is part of the Wonderwoods development, which consists of two towers designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti and MVSA Architects, within the urban regeneration plan for Beurskwartier, the new pedestrian area adjacent to the Central Station.
In particular, the Wonderwoods Vertical Forest by Stefano Boeri Architetti is a 104-meter tower that reinterprets the vertical forest model—characterized by a strong presence of trees and plants—in a mixed-use context. Following the Bosco Verticale in Milan and the Trudo Vertical Forest (social housing) in Eindhoven, Wonderwoods Vertical Forest is the first vertical forest in the world to feature public functions open to citizens, with the goal of making this innovative architectural typology increasingly integrated into the urban fabric and accessible to all.
With 360 trees and 50,000 plants from 30 native species, equivalent to the vegetation of one hectare of forest, Wonderwoods Vertical Forest hosts a high level of plant biodiversity and contributes significantly to improving the quality of urban life: absorbing CO₂ and fine dust, producing oxygen, and regulating the local microclimate.
