TROPICALIA, CĆ“te d'Opale, France.
Coldefy & Associates Architects Urban Planners appointed to Design Tropicalia,Ā the Worldās Biggest Tropical Greenhouse Under One Roof
TropicaliaĀ was designed by Coldefy & Associates as a āharmonious havenā seamlessly integrated into the local environment, with an original innovation: the project is self-sufficientāāāproducing energy through the use of a double dome creating a room in which the air heated through a greenhouse effect. The absence of bearing posts and the presence of a peripheral green wall enhance this cocoon-like atmosphere. The architecture blends in with the scenery: the building is set partially in the ground, thus partially lowering its height and impact. Tropicalia appears to rise like a small hill within the landscape.
