Scroll down for video . Magical : Italian architect Luciano Pia has designed the apartment block in the style of a treehouse . ' A living forest ' : The trees inside the property were picked to have the right mix of foliage and blossom throughout the year . The steel structure , with 63 flats inside , has a rooftop garden and trees growing out of the walls . Mr Pia said he wanted to create an outdoor feel for the building , which has been three years in the making . ' I wanted to give people the chance to escape having to look all the time at Turin 's urban sprawl and to create a multi-storey natural alternative ' , he said . The seasonal progression of the 150 trees planted around the property create a 'microclimate ' within the building , steadying extreme temperatures during the winter and summer months . Each species of plants was chosen carefully to make sure there was a rich variety of colour and blossom depending on the time of year , and in total the trees are capable of absorbing close to 200,000 litres of carbon dioxide an hour . Stand out : The striking development has its own 'microclimate ' inside , thanks to the trees planted around . The project is also very environmentally friendly , making use of the latest developments in technology with heating and cooling systems that utilise geothermal energy with heat pumps , and rainwater is collected and 'recycled ' to water the green . Mr Pia added : 'This natural absorption brings pollution protection only to residents , but in the city is also helping to eliminate harmful gasses caused by cars . Bright : The metal structures are designed to look like trees , which 'grow ' from the groundfloor to the roof . ' I also placed the trees so that they can to a certain extent absorb some of the harsh sounds from the bustling streets outside . ' 'The plants ' full foliage blocks rays of sun during the summer while letting in warm light during the winter . 'The building has 63 flats each benefiting from the terraces and vegetation just beyond their windows and walls . ' Outside : Architect Luciano Pia said while the wood filters the light in summer , in winter they allow light to filter into the house . Grand : Natural wood is used throughout the property , creating a rustic feel .
