In the search for the sweet spot where nature and modern-day living meet, The House of Green delivers solutions for a perfect blend of both worlds. As the lines between technology, work, and play become increasingly blurred, it is natural we are drawn towards the simplicity and solace of nature as a salve to our everyday chaos. But what if that tranquillity could be achieved as a part of our daily work-life balance? 

The House of Green is a collection of the most stunning architecture and interiors incorporating nature in their designs, exploring the benefits to homes, workplaces and more. Including an insightful introductory article by the visionary architect Carlo Ratti that delves into the crossroads between architecture and nature, as well as texts from experts in biophilic design and gardening, the book demonstrates, through striking photography, the imaginative coexistence between human-made construction and the natural world. Whether interested in building innovation, sustainable design, or simply beautiful architecture, professionals, designers, and enthusiasts alike will find immense pleasure in The House of Green.
The CapitaSpring tower by Bjarke Ingels and Carlo Ratti, featured in The House of Green on p. 106-111, won the International Hi-rise Award 2024/2025.
