A Room With a Micro-Garden View

By September 26, 2012 No Comments

Voila! ”Volet végétal” from French design team Barreau & Charbonnet turns any window into a drawbridge-style micro-garden. Sort of like walking the plank, but stopping to smell the roses as you do. Check out the Barreau & Charbonnet site for a dizzying digital flip-book of the contraption in action.

Why not literally extend the idea and have actual green drawbridges though? Or create an instant green scaffold in the sky between buildings, a network of gangways and ladders, overgrown with vines, between each other’s windows. A city of hanging gardens.
