    Lace Hill is a conceptual mixed-use building shaped in the form of a
    mountain that's proposed for Armenia's capital, Yerevan. Forrest Fulton
    Architects of Alabama took inspiration from traditional Armenian lace
    needlework and the surrounding hills of Yerevan to design the proposal
    of the landscape. The entire facade of Lace Hill is covered in native
    plants to absorb heat and provide habitat to animals and insects,
    while recycled water is used to irrigate the building.

    Lace Hill has several sustainable features such as recessed windows,
    voids acting as cooling towers and geothermal heat pumps providing
    temperature control for the rooms. It has retail shops and restaurants
    on the bottom floor, while the northern side has office space and the
    southern is punctuated with apartments and a hotel with underground
    parking. The entire landscape is proposed to be built over an area
    of 85,000 square meters.
