Approximately 30,000 plants of various species were utilized for the project, including 60 native to the region. Annually, the plants on the facades of Scala Shopping are expected to produce enough oxygen for 1,000 people, while the 9 vertical ecosystems collectively can capture around 300 tons of harmful greenhouse gases.
Designed to adapt to weather conditions multiple times a day, the first retractabe roof in Ecuador enhances the experience of customers enjoying the central courtyard and its events.
