Namba Parks is an office and shopping complex located in Osaka, Japan. It is a true architectural masterpiece and a modern interpretation of the concept of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. A huge shopping complex built in the centre of Osaka on a former baseball stadium has its own flavour: a multi-storey building with terraced gardens of extraordinary beauty.
The Namba complex was built in 2003. The terraced parks occupy eight levels, so it is rightly considered a green oasis in the midst of this concrete city. The park area is covered not only by plants or greenery but also by numerous stylised natural features of stones, rocks, artificial streams, waterfalls, and small ponds.
The complex, which offers waggon hopping and various forms of entertainment, is a true supplement to walking in the park, featuring shops from the second to the fifth floor, an amphitheatre for live shows, and space for small personal vegetable gardens and waggon shops. The sixth floor is for various kinds of restaurants, such as Japanese, Korean, Italian, etc. A thirty-storey tower, the project features a lifestyle commercial centre crowned with a rooftop park that crosses multiple blocks and gradually ascends eight levels. In addition to providing a highly visible green component in a city where nature is sparse, the sloping park connects to the street.
