This wellness center doubles as a medical facility for staff of KaneKa, which specializes in environmental technology. The 625-square-meter building combines with green roofs that fold and touch ground, besides different systems developed by KaneKa, such as solar panels and exterior insulation. Surrounded by vegetation, the site is an abandoned spot adjacent to the company’s factory. Existing trees were left intact as much as possible.
