The newest residential building on UC Berkeley’s campus features a striking interior courtyard crowned by two towering 13-story living walls. Designed in collaboration with Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture and BDE Architecture, the walls create a seamless vertical tapestry of sun-loving plants at the top and shade-tolerant species below. These lush, green expanses not only serve as a visual centerpiece but also enhance the building’s focus on wellness, offering a tranquil environment for residents. Combined with terraces, balconies, and thoughtfully landscaped spaces, the living walls elevate the residential experience, blending nature and architecture into a harmonious, dynamic design.
