”Mass Studies is a Korean based architecture firm that was founded in 2003. The studio recently finished the design of shop for fashion retailer Ann Demeulemeester. the building consists of four levels, the shop, a multi-store and restaurant on the top floors. The project’s facade is made from a geo-textile planted with herbaceous perennials to form a living wall. The greenery is carried into the shop, incorporating nature whenever possible.”

Wow! Grass-covered walls is something I always dreamed of, but assumed it would destroy the structure. I wonder if they needed some special innovations to support this. Great work, and looks cool too!

Mowing the lawn is probably a little tough. :)
