Venlo Office Green Facade

The visuals of the a municipal office in Venlo, Netherlands by Hans Goverde of Kraaijvanger • Urbis provides some great ideas for vegetated and complementary facade materials (via WAN): "The most visible of sustainable design elements are two greenhouses situated on the building's top lateral edges which, together with the office space and underground car park will collect heat for attached housing. Further sustainability measures presently include an air purification system aided by the River Maas, rainwater collection and use, and the predominance of sustainable wood in the construction."
