In an effort to raise employee productivity and happiness, a growing number of companies are incorporating greenery into their workplace designs.
In Singapore, a new office tower that will feature thousands of plants follows the trend.
Architects from Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA) are billing the 51-story skyscraper as "the office of the future" due to its focus on flora.
The tower, which broke ground this week, will sit on the site of a formerly abandoned parking lot.

At 920 feet tall, it will be one of the tallest towers in the city. Plants will poke out on the bottom floors of the steel-and-glass facade and the rooftop.
The 1 million-square-foot interior will feature thousands of plants.
