The House Of The Flying Trees (HOFT) by R.evolution creates a unique experience around the presence of nature in the middle of the bustling city of Riga, Latvia. The project is a residential apartment complex consisting of two main construction volumes: a renovated 5-story historical building dating from 1881 and a brand-new 7-story building. Bonsai trees are integrated within the facades of both buildings, giving the illusion that the trees are levitating.
