Amazon has just unveiled its new headquarters in Seattle, a $4 billion project that, in addition to a contemporary office building, features a mini-forest housed in three enormous glass domes. The Amazon Spheres, as they have come to be known , are a space for employees to relax and unwind, where they can walk under the trees or along the waterfalls. They are home to more than 40,000 plants from all over the world, creating a tropical environment and an immersion in nature amidst the urban landscape.
