The world's first sky apartments with forest are under construction in the city of Milan – and the plants are being grown in pots while their new home is being prepared, Daily Mail reported.

With trees equal to one hectare of forest spanning 27 floors, these 365 and 260-foot emerald, twin towers called the Bosco Verticale will be home to an astonishing 730 trees, 5,000 shrubs and 11,000 ground plants.

意大利打造“垂直森林”

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，意大利米兰正在建造种满树木的双子摩天楼，此举尚属全球首例。目前，树木正盆栽生长，它们的新家也还在建设当中。

       分布于27层的树木叠加相当于一公顷土地的种植面积。名为“垂直森林”的双子楼，高度分别为365、260英尺，外观碧绿葱郁，共有730棵树、5000株灌木、11000株庭院植物将在此安家。

       自从这两座楼2006年投入设计，博瑞建筑设计室主管米歇尔•布鲁内洛一直忙于此项目。
