Clearpoint Residencies: a 47-storey vertical garden

Sri Lanka's first sustainable high-rise apartment complex and one of the world's tallest residential vertical gardens, Clearpoint Residencies is a unique residential complex alongside the wetlands surrounding Buthgamuwa Road, Rajagiriya.

Clearpoint Residencies is a 47-storey building with 164 apartments, each floor consisting of four apartments. Designed by Milroy Perera Associates and constructed by Maga Engineering, the investment is Rs. 6 billion.

The building will also feature a grey water recycling system.

Water collected from apartment showers and bathroom sinks will run through a recycling system which will purify the water to be less than 10 BOD (Bio Oxygen Demand) and then mixed with harvested rain water.

This treated water will be used within the flushing systems of apartment bathrooms.

Designer Milroy Perera said, "Ultimately, the aim is to create a living space where you can, not only feel at one with the environment, but actively contribute towards safeguarding and sustaining its resources.
