The Organic Building is a place that truly promotes that being eco friendly will not consume the elegance and beauty of your design. 

Located in Osaka Prefecture, this building has been designed by Gaetano Pesce, an architect and artist from Italy. The building's red checker squares are already eye-catching from afar, but on a closer look, travelers will see that each red block actually has a built-in pot for all your beloved green friends. With the help of the Osaka horticulturists, the building has been adorned with more than 80 kinds of indigenous plants and tree species. And these plants are definitely hydrated well because of the computerized irrigation system made of the mechanical pipes attached to the red blocks.
