The horizontal planter boxes are named “the green louvers”. These green louvers are fixed to the steel pipe with brackets. Using the same steel pipe as the strut, glass panes with DPG (dot point glazing) connection fixtures are mounted inside.
The green louvers are in dual structure, consisting of 3mm-thick stainless panel with mirror finish, and U-shaped planter box with excellent waterproof performance made of FRP (fiber reinforcned plastic). Supporting structure consisting of L-angle steel is inserted between these two layers.
An automatic water-supply system is employed (in order to maintain the vegetation), in which water runs through the pipe of 20 mmφ, and the water from the drainpipe drips on the louver underneath.
The stainless steel has a shiny mirror finish. By using the mirror and covering the existence of the box, we wanted to create a sense as though the ivy alone is floating in the air.

上海の中に、ひとつのオアシスを作りたかった。水と緑に溢れたオアシスで、「自然」を建築の中に取り戻したいと考えた。具体的には、番禺路と建物との間に蔦とステンレスボックスで作ったフィルターを設け、ストリートのノイズをカットした。さらにその裏側に、ガラスと滝で作った２番目のフィルターを挿入し、2つのフィルターを媒介として、静かな「自然」を建築の中に再創造した。最上階でも大きな水面を建築に挿入することで、光に溢れた「自然」を再生することができた。
