# Vertical Condo Gardens The Tower Flower in Paris Reinvents the Green Wall Concept By Amelia Roblin | Published 2010-09-16 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tower-flower References: [edouardfrancois](http://www.edouardfrancois.com/project_detail.php?project_id=37) Édouard François is a renowned architect and has a cutting edge knack for green wall design, both showcased beautifully in his [Tower Flower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayana-residences). With no plans to let tenants start balcony gardens, the designer has incorporated 380 potted plants into the railing structure of the building's stacked wrap-around porches. With so much burgeoning bamboo escaping from the edges of the Tower Flower, the green wall concept benefits the tenants in a number of ways. Providing shade from direct sunlight, an outdoor sanctuary and natural air fresheners, as a home, Tower Flower would be a bed of roses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vertical Gardening:** The trend of incorporating green walls into buildings can revolutionize urban architecture and improve air quality. - **Sustainable Real Estate:** The concept of eco-friendly architecture can change the way we build and utilize buildings, promoting healthier living environments. - **Green Infrastructures:** Incorporating gardens and greenery into buildings can provide a number of benefits to tenants, including improved mental health and an increased sense of community. ### Who This Affects Most - **Real Estate:** Real estate companies can use sustainable, green architecture as a selling point to attract environmentally conscious tenants and investors. - **Architecture:** Incorporating living walls into buildings presents an opportunity for architects to be creative, innovative, and environmentally friendly. - **Urban Planning:** Integrating green spaces into urban environments can lead to a more sustainable and livable city for all residents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Filled Latticed Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touching-eden-house.md) - [Greenery-Filled Skyscraper Terrarium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrarium-cheongdam.md) - [Hotel-Based Garden Terraced Columns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pan-pacific-orchard.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetment-vegetable-cultivator.md) - [Organic Striking Tower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leaves.md) - [Space-Saving Hydroponic Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-hydroponic-garden-tower.md) - [Planted Balcony Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-greens.md) - [Forest Tower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderwoods-vertical-forest.md) - [Curved Green Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-island.md)
