OFL architecture rests green future housing above Rome

Aditi JustaJun 7 2010

OFL architecture gears up to change the face of regular, uninteresting and dull housing forever. Redefining potential relationships within the contemporary city and its existing urban conditions, their new project called the Enoki project sees the installation of futuristic housing above Rome. The “Enoki Rome Ecocity” is a cute little self-contained city that houses residences, commercial spaces, green areas, spaces for community activities, sport and cultural activities within them.

The self sufficient and highly innovative building blends beautifully with the historical part of the city of Rome. Erected over parks, green areas and water, the main cellular structure of the Enoki is made from molecular shaped steel and glass. The 150 stories project will include flying shuttles running outside the Enoki to take inhabitants to and from various levels of the building and the old city. The building’s outer skin made using steel diamond-shaped panels enhance the aesthetics. OFL architecture claims that Enoki can house up to 6,000 residents with an area of 240,000 square meters and 300,000 square meters for recreational activities.
