Vox Vertical Village is an innovative residential complex in Timișoara, Romania, designed as a “vertical village” with house-like apartments featuring extensive terraces and hanging gardens.
Project Overview
This 10-story building houses 120 independent residences, reimagining urban apartments as spacious homes with private outdoor spaces nearly doubling the indoor area. Traditional hallways are transformed into a central atrium resembling streets and plazas, fostering community while preserving privacy. Developed by Vox Property Group and Studio Arca, it emphasizes biophilic design with over 800 trees and shrubs on terraces and common areas.
Hanging Gardens and Greenery
Each apartment includes climate-adapted plants on large terraces, creating hanging gardens that extend living spaces and improve air quality. Lush vegetation provides shade, biodiversity, and natural comfort, integrated with passive features like shading slabs for energy efficiency. This setup turns balconies into verdant “backyards” in a high-rise context.
Sustainability Features
The project earned BREEAM Excellent certification through natural light optimization, thermal insulation, and airtightness. Glazed facades blur indoor-outdoor boundaries, while greenery and slabs manage sunlight, rain, and snow for year-round comfort. Amenities like pools, gyms, cinemas, and concierge services complement the eco-focused living.
Current Status
Under construction as of recent updates (last noted 2022–2024), it represents a pioneering Romanian model for vertical living with nature.
