15 Buildings With Entire Ecosystems Inside

Most buildings are built for people—but a rare few are built for entire ecosystems. These aren’t just greenhouses or botanical gardens. They’re complex, climate-controlled environments designed to support entire biomes under one roof. Some recreate tropical rainforests or desert landscapes, while others house coral reef systems or alpine habitats. These structures use cutting-edge engineering to mimic sunlight, rainfall, humidity, and even seasonal cycles. In this list, Top Fives explores 15 buildings around the world where nature thrives indoors—where ecosystems aren’t just preserved, but allowed to flourish.
