Sustainable Architecture

The MS Lounge is a pavilion in Navarra, Spain that gets its distinctive look from the airy facade of green “reeds” surrounding it. Designed by architects Vaillo + Irigaray, the funky structure serves as a pop-up event space that allows guests to feel like they are dining and dancing within a bamboo forest. The verdant tubes that encase the lounge are made of recycled plastic, and to add even more green appeal, one wall of the building is partially lined with real shrubbery.
