    @PugJesus
    I think “forest” is a bit of a reach.

    Will these trees not outgrow the small cubicals they are in?

      No. This concept was first used in Italy over 40 years ago. They choose the appropriate trees.

      Some trees only grow a few feet tall. I remember when I was a kid, my mother planted a few such small trees when we moved into a house with a yard.

      lmao, funny enough, after someone insisted on finding the address, I actually came across some floor plans in the process.

      You sure? It seems legitimate, as seen by the link and the architect’s own page, and it seems to be similar to the architect’s other projects

        If it’s real, it has an address. That can be looked up in an Apple or Google Maps.

        Find the address, or it’s not real.

          After considerable struggle, since listing all addresses in fucking China is not high on the list of Anglophone internet service priorities, and as if to fucking emphasize this, the entire fucking Google Map of Huanggang being incredibly off-center, and most locations not having any fucking address listed, I spent far too fucking much of my time to cross-reference sources, searching in fucking Chinese (which I do not speak), and locate the exact position of the complex through Baidu’s map service as Juran Home Vertical Forest City Complex, No. 88 Shengli Street, Huangzhou District, Huanggang City, Hubei Province.

          There’s even a photo gallery of mundane, non-gorgeous angles

          Is that enough to quell your arbitrary skepticism despite similar projects being already established as extant and multiple sources being provided?

            That’s the wrong address. Map shows nothing. Lazy google man.

            However, I did find it. And therefore I was wrong.
