Located in the city of Huanggang in Hubei province, the Easyhome Huanggang Vertical Forest City Complex covers an area of ​​4.54 hectares, and has been designed to create a new green complex capable of integrating buildings for residences, hotels and large commercial spaces.

The complex, intended to create a new green space for the city, meets the daily needs of a number of different individuals, including residents and temporary guests, inhabitants and tourists. The project comprises five towers, two of which are residential and designed as vertical forests capable of providing a new life experience for the surrounding urban and natural area.

At the ground floors of the towers, the façades of the commercial sections are largely clad in vertical and modular elements with constant distribution, giving continuous movement to the façade. This design choice creates a visual sense of rhythm over the whole external frontage. 

The floors have cantilevered elements that interrupt the regularity of the building and are accentuated by the presence of trees and shrubs selected from local species.
