This reminds me a lot of PARKROYAL on Pickering[0], a very cool-looking hotel in Singapore. It's probably much easier to pull off this look in a tropical rainforest climate, though.

I'm also reminded of the Oasia Downtown hotel in Singapore, which, like Park Royal, is designed by WOHA. It's a fairly recently completed skyscraper, and the plant scaffolding hasn't fully been overgrown yet: https://archello.com/project/oasia-hotel-downtown

London is basically a temperate rain forest.

For majority of the year, you're not wrong. Assuming you can have a forest of concrete.

[EDIT ADD] Yes London does have some parks, though you could look at those as Oxygen watering holes in relation to the local environment.
