Amazon's green Spheres

kosklPosted for Everyone to comment on, 5 years ago2 min read

Hi guys,

Hope everybody's well. In this post, I am going to talk about yet another awesome architectural creation, the beautiful Amazon Spheres.

The Amazon Spheres are three intersecting spherical conservatories, located on the headquarters of Amazon in Seattle, Washington. They house Amazon's offices, as well as restaurants and many shops, functioning as both lounge and workspace for Amazon's employees. They also contain thousands of plants, some of them exotic. A man-made paradise (1).

Construction on the spheres began in 2015, right up to January 2018, when they opened to the employees and the public. The largest dome, in the centre, is four stories tall, and houses 25,000 plants, including some carnivorous species from Asia (2).

I used to work for a company, and they had a roof-garden. I was wonderful to go up there and have my lunch break. And it was a small garden, nothing like the Amazon spheres. It must be truly uplifting.

And that's all for now. Thanks for visiting!
