The website Global Design News has dedicated an article to the Wonderwoods Vertical Forest project titled Wonderwoods by Stefano Boeri Architetti: Utrecht’s Vertical Forest Oasis.
Wonderwoods is the development created in the heart of Utrecht by Stefano Boeri Architetti and MVSA Architects, within the context of the urban regeneration plan in Beurskwartier, the new pedestrian district adjacent to the Central Station.
In particular, the Wonderwoods Vertical Forest project 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 key. After 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 include public functions open to citizens, with the aim of making this innovative architectural typology increasingly integrated into the urban fabric and accessible to everyone.
The building, inaugurated at the beginning of 2025, hosts around 200 apartments of various types designed for a diverse range of residents, together with commercial activities, sports and leisure areas, and dining spaces.
The project was awarded Best Mixed-Use Project in the Netherlands at the 2021 European Property Awards and was the winner of the 2019 MIPIM/AR Future Project Awards.
