“There’s something quite magical about watching trams in Barcelona, Strasbourg or Frankfurt glide silently along beds of grass as they do their city circuit.

Residential Tower Design for Cascade Park, Almere, Netherlands - Faro Architects
“An inspiring example for ecological, social and economical sustainability. The tower, remaining an integral part of the garden, will be nurtured on the public side in the form of green balconies. The structure will make use of glass and PV & PCM panels, together with sun collectors and rainwater to fulfill most of its energy and water requirements from the natural sources.”
