While wondering the back streets of Vila Madalena, a hip bohemian neighborhood in the Pinheiros district on the western side of São Paulo, I randomly came across this residential building by French-Brazilian architects Triptyque. An external skeleton irrigation system covers the entire building to service plants growing in tiny pockets on the walls.
More detail pics after the jump.
The images below are taken from the PDF Redux Book download at Triptyque's website.
