North America's tallest living wall could capture 1,600 pounds of pollution annually
Rastegar Property Company has announced plans to develop the tallest living wall installation in North America within its 26-story, 270 residential condominium tower development located in Dallas, Texas. The wall would include over 40,000 plants that are estimated to capture over 1,600 pounds of carbon dioxide and produce 1,200 pounds of oxygen annually. "We thought about how living walls can positively influence the city of Dallas," said Zach Smith, CEO of Zauben, a Chicago-based living wall company in a statement. "We wanted to help champion the sustainability goals of the city and create an example that other forward-thinking cities can follow." The building was designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, a Chicago-based architect. The tower's form is contoured and organic in essence and extrudes the full height of the structure. The balconies throughout the building are heavily landscaped, further promoting the living wall theme of the project.
