Liverpool Shopping Center Toluca Gallery
In its design, it was decided to regularize the curved shape of the volume and hide a series of steps and breaks in the building to achieve a simple and clear continuous figure, achieving as a result the modern design of a building in an urban area. A resin material with wood fiber was used, evoking the shape of a wavy basket.
The rotation creates a vortex whose walls in tension in the flattened parts (valleys) and relax in the waves farthest from the building (ridges). A system of waves was obtained, like those of the sea, which are then cut diagonally and arranged on the building's cylinder. The store should have no windows, so there are only two perforations in this facade of modern building: the access door and a habitable terrace on the top floor.
The door is an elliptical cone section, a kind of aluminum cave, which gives dramatic depth to the access, at the same time that it dialogues with the curvature of the façade. For the terrace, a large slot devoid of tablets was left that releases views of the landscape. The design of a curved facade has the potential to be very dynamic, and a dynamic facade would establish a dialogue with the road. So, in order to reinforce it, a series of horizontal slots were left illuminated and stratified in different levels, each level with its different size and rhythm.

We welcome you once again to Facades World. Today we have thought that it would be a great idea to share with all our readers how to have a vertical garden at home, so if you're interested don't move from the screen because we're starting right now.
Having a vertical garden at home will fill you with freshness and nature, as well as giving you health and good energy. Who doesn't fall in love with a vertical garden just seeing it?, beyond how beautiful they may be, they generate a lot of doubt about their construction and care. That is why in this article we will touch on some of these topics in order to clear your doubts.
What is a vertical garden?
Just like its given name, a vertical garden it is a plantation of different types of bushes on a vertical surface. Its objective, or at least one of them, is to optimize the space that we have available in our home, which usually does not have areas designed for a traditional or floor space. This is the best option for those who have a deep love for nature and do not have much space to have plants.
They are so versatile that they can be installed almost anywhere, from the city itself to the walls of a living room. In recent years they have become so popular that many social settings such as shopping centers have this type of decorative gardens.
Why have a vertical garden at home?
Vertical gardens offer us a much more natural and sophisticated decorative alternative. Also, depending on the species, you will get them to clean the air and provide extra oxygen. Thanks to its natural benefits, you will also obtain cooler and more humid rooms, ideal if we are talking about cities with high temperatures.
According to scientific articles, grounds They have very positive effects on health. For this reason, there are places like the Clairvaux Hospice in which these types of spaces are cared for because the sight of flowers and plants invigorates patients. This means that, by having a garden at home, even if it is vertical, you will obtain benefits on your physical and mental health.
What types of plants are recommended?
The number of plants to grow in vertical gardens is wide. It is ideal to choose thosethat help purify the air such as lilies, pothos, ferns and syngonios. If in addition to loving gardening you also like home cooking, do not hesitate to plant some aromatic plants that will be useful in your preparations. Among them, mint, basil, thyme and oregano.
However, as a general recommendation, it is necessary to know all the characteristics of the desired species, as well as their needs regarding irrigation, growth and fertilizer, among others. This is important because of the position of the garden, Being vertical, they are not suitable for bushes that need constant watering., unless you have the option of installing an automatic system that optimizes the liquid.
And at home… How can I make a vertical garden?
Some people wonder if they can create a vertical garden at home. The answer is yes, this is a project that looks complex, but is easily done. Doing it yourself can be much cheaper than hiring a specialist in it. So if you have clear notions of gardening, take advantage of them. Try to see some illustrative videos of the step by step on the internet, they will surely be very useful.
Is your maintenance very complete?
The maintenance of vertical gardens It will largely depend on what you want to look like. If you want the plants to always be pruned, you must be very consistent with this task. By having different species on your green wall, it may happen that some stand out faster than others. In that case, it will be necessary to make regular cuts to maintain harmony in terms of length.
On the other hand, we find thatthere are some plants that require more care than others, so this is something to consider when you are making the choice. The ideal is to opt for low-maintenance ones and thus have a gleaming garden for longer., without the need to invest more time than desired.
The irrigation system is important to maintain the health of your plant wall, so make sure you provide them with this resource. Some people opt for a hydroponic system to provide water constantly. Of course, it must be said that this process is quite expensive.
How much can a vertical garden cost us?
The cost of creating and maintaining this type of garden depends on the size of the wall, whether you hire a professional or do it yourself, the origin and type of species and the irrigation system you prefer. Options range from very cheap to very expensive. So, if for a long time you have wanted to have a green wall in your house, the time has come to make it a reality. You can start by conditioning a small space and to the extent that you take practice and learn more about its care, expand it.

Main facade
The fully glazed street facade is divided into segments to reflect the shape of each unit. These individual glass plates are tilted in various directions and covered with a film that varies in brightness, resulting in an ever-changing rhythm of colors, lights, and reflection.
Interior design
This condo composed of rental units and commercial premises is located on one of Hamburg's main arteries leading to the city center. The building is made up of a central nucleus with a circulation of nine apartments. Each floor contains two apartments, except for the top floor: there is an apartment with a large terrace.
The counter façade is oriented to the south overlooking the inner courtyard, thus avoiding the busy street on the opposite side. Each apartment has a south-facing balcony as well as a north-facing loggia.
Each floor of this work was created open and clean. The bedrooms are oriented towards the streets while the living room and kitchen open to the south side of the patio. This first floor was intended as an open office unit with a rooftop terrace.
