    ARMENIAN LIVING TOWERS

    Green Muse
    May 7 2010

    A stunning energy efficient tower design covered in a green vegetation
    layer, from Slovenian-based OFIS Architecture, was a recent entrant
    in the Mercedes Benz Hotel Tower Competition for Yerevan, Armenia.

    Comprised of two vertical towers covered in metal mesh with a
    living vegetation sheath, the terraced towers are designed to be
    energy efficient while still able to withstand the region's frequent
    earthquakes.

    The All Season's Tent Tower luxurious green design concept offers a
    hotel, apartments, a business centre, exhibition hall, restaurants
    and bars, plus a fitness centre complete with pool and spa.

    The external facade includes solar panels on the atrium roof for energy
    harvesting and an embedded geothermal system for heating and cooling.
