GREEN WALL DESIGN INTENT

The design intent was to include a stunning biophilic element that separates the bar and dining area from the elevator landing and meeting points. Originally, the design called for a full, live plant wall but through design iterations along the way, this unique hybrid wall, consisting of preserved mosses and live plants, was created to reduce the on-going maintenance costs.

GREEN WALL DESIGN

From the design team’s input, Green Oasis’s team designed this wall with features like an automatic irrigation system and preserved moss which was used on about 60% of the wall as this requires no maintenance. The POD Living Wall modules are interconnected with irrigation and drainage which runs out of sight behind the moss. The ongoing maintenance costs of this live plant wall were cut in about half.

GREEN WALL FEATURES

One of the design features of this wall that the design team appreciated was that plants can easily be removed and seasonal plant material can be added for added interest throughout the year.
