Chippendale, One Central Park
Central Park is an urban redevelopment of the former Kent Street Brewery located on the corner of Broadway and Abercrombie Street, in the inner city suburb of Chippendale. One Central Park consists of two residential towers above a retail complex, designed by architect Jean Nouvel and artist and botanist Patrick Blanc. The public park in the centre of the precinct climbs the sides of the glass towers to form a lush canopy. The vines, leafy foliage and blooms of 250 species of Australian flowers and plants spring out between floors.
Looks awesome!

ReplyDeleteThat's a great building with the plants climbing it. I can't imagine living in a building that big.
ReplyDeleteI love to see buildings creatively repurposed.
ReplyDeleteNice, the hanging gardens of Babylon all over again.

ReplyDeleteA living facade - how lovely to see!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if the whole building is crying flowers !
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteThats a great idea - I saw some green walls in London - but wondered how they would cope in Australia - and the answer seems to be that they would cope fine!

ReplyDeleteAll that greenery hanging down adds interest to what otherwise would be just a plain building. Nice perspective for the shot..
ReplyDeleteWell, at least they have tried to soften those ugly straight lines and the box-like building with some greenery!
