Design Concept
At the heart of SolForest Ecopark lies a commitment to green development. While the traditional allure of low-rise structures fosters a direct communion with nature, the challenge was to infuse this ethos into a vertical setting. This challenge birthed an innovative solution in the form of irregular balconies adorned with lush greenery, creating an unconventional verdant oasis that transcends the constraints of the urban landscape. This design narrative aims to immerse residents in nature’s embrace, offering a sanctuary amidst the bustling cityscape.
