Designed by architects Emilio Ambasz & Associates, the Acros Fukuoka building in Fukuoka City, Japan houses a number of offices, retail space, a 2′000 seat theatre and a museum.

It was built on the last available green space in the city so the design needed to keep as much of that greenery as possible whilst still delivering a building big enough to hold the necessary facilities.

The result is an amazing building which from the back end appears to be a normal glass fronted construction. it’s only when you approach the other side that you see the huge sloping front, home to around 35′000 plants and 76 different species. The roof also enables the building’s energy consumption to be lower than other buildings of a similar size as the greenery keeps the inside temperature at a comfortable level.
