„We have come a long way from `blue boxes` on the green field to a downtown furniture store that is second to none. We are daring this experiment because our lives, customer behavior and mobility habits are changing rapidly. New ways are needed to counter this.“
Alpaslan Deliloglu CEO IKEA Austria

„With GREENPASS we were able to confirm that the greening of this fantastic building is not only ‘prettiness’, but that the 160 trees make an active and sustainable contribution to cooling the city. This is how contemporary architecture has to work!”
