Ideas of green wall and vertical gardens have been floating around for quite a while, and while we enjoy those ideas, this one just took us with a pleasant surprise. Hideo Kumaki Architect Office came up with this idea for the Green Screen House, located in Saitama, Japan.
The suspended, straight lines of the natural curtain garden shade the rooms with greenery, additionally providing a natural insulation that the architects claim helps lower the summer temperature on the terrace by an impressive 10 degrees Celsius. Also, it helps that this gives the place a killer look.
