'Hanging Gardens'
The practice was approached by Chinese private equity fund PGC Capital whose The Jewel Court, 77 one-two bed luxury apartments, is already on site in Birmingham.
The design concept ‘Garden Hill’ is inspired by The Hanging Gardens of Babylon: an oasis like residence for Birmingham’s growing, multicultural, student population. The two dramatic 25 storey staggered towers, hung with gardens at every level, give all occupants and visitors access to private and shared terraces and a spacious rooftop garden. The entire block is made of CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) as an exercise in highly sustainable construction.
