Trudo Vertical Forest designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti is featured in Wohnen / Housing (Detail Edition), a publication dedicated to pioneering projects in social housing, economical construction and the transformation of existing buildings.
The project represents the first application of the Vertical Forest model to social housing. Completed in 2021 on the former Philips industrial site, the 19-storey tower provides 125 social housing units, ranging from 35 to 50 square metres, with balconies and more than 200 integrated planters.
The project explores how housing affordability can coexist with architectural quality and biodiversity.
The building’s construction also responds to the need for efficiency and cost control. Through the use of prefabricated construction technologies, the construction period was reduced by two months.
