In order not to deprive the area of a single green oasis, experts of architectural company Emilio Ambasz & Associates decided to break up on the facade of an office building with a stepped live garden. In accordance with the project, the south side of the 14-storey building was transformed into the luxury stepped garden with live plants and shrubs. It features cozy seating areas with benches and gazebos. Spacious terraces offer a great view of the harbor and city streets, so they also act as an excellent viewing platform.
It’s important to note that it was managed to save a half of the old park during the construction of the office building. Together with landscaped frontage, the look is very harmonious. The area of the stepped garden is about 5 400 square meters. The park has more than 50 000 plants of 120 different species. All guests of Fukuoka can visit this unusual place; it’s admission-free. Convenient stairways are there to move between terraces.
