In Holland, the architectural firm MVRDV is designing a horticultural theme park:
Inside the Flowerbed Hotel’s greenhouse shell, stacked volumes will hold 280 floral-themed rooms, a conference center, 22,600 square feet of flowerbeds, and parking. The spacious lobby will include public space (including a sprawling garden) for day visitors, a private area for hotel guests, and a mixed zone—all connected by a semi-public route. The goal is to submerse visitors in the greenhouse climate. [The] firm expects to include sustainable features such as sun collectors, windmills, and underground cool storage to maximize energy performance in spite of the glass skin.
