The Flower Tower
Edouard Francois’ ‘Flower Tower’ is an apartment building located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. This Parisian apartment block features a green facade of bamboo planted in 380 large concrete pots embedded in the balconies. The name Flower Tower is a bit of a misnomer since bamboo isn’t a regularly flowering plant, but perhaps the name “Bamboo Building” was deemed unappealing!
The bamboo plants are fed and watered automatically through artificial stems running inside the metal balustrades of each storey. This ensures that when tenants are away the bamboo will not perish. And, of course, it makes life easy for residents day-to-day.
