Living Walls & Structures
“When the forest and the city are functionally indistinguishable, then we know we have reached sustainability.” – Janine Benyus
Modular Living Wall Systems
No matter the size, living walls are a great addition to a home or an office. Introduce greenery and live plants without overcrowding your space. Depending on the structure or material of the wall, lighting, and maintenance desires, we can help you choose the right system for your space.
Flexible Design
Let your imagination run wild. The flexibility of our installation process allows us to create the design of your dreams that fits any type of space.
Low Maintenance
Regardless of the living wall system you choose, all vertical gardens require little to no maintenance. The living wall will be customized to your space & needs.
Suitable for Indoors
Light, environment and weight must be factored in when specifying a modular vertical. Living walls can fit anywhere and help to absorb sound and carbon dioxide.
Benefits of an Indoor Living Wall
Natural Noise Reduction
A living wall absorbs 41% more sound than a traditional wall. Experience acoustic comfort and ambient noise reduction.
Healthier Indoor Environment
Plants filter particulate matter from the air and turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. 1 m2 of living wall extracts 2.3 kg of CO2 per annum and produces 1.7 kg of oxygen.
Environmentally Responsible
A vertical garden takes up less space than a traditional garden and reduces water usage by up to 80%! Our unique watering system ensures that you’re re-using and recycling excess water instead of pumping in a fresh supply.
Reduces Ambient Temperature
Plants absorb sunlight; 50% of sunlight is absorbed and 30% is reflected which helps to create a cooler and more pleasant indoor environment.
Products Offered
Mobile versa Wall
gsky
Mobile Versa Walls® provide privacy and social distancing barriers while optimizing floor space with the added health, wellness, and design benefits of live plants. Available with plants on one or both sides.
Modulogreen® Living Wall
The first Crade-to-Cradle certified living wall system in the world. Made from recycled plastic and recyclable after use, the smart design of the module also evenly distributes and circulates water while optimizing the system’s water consumption.
Nextgen living walls
Easy to install and to plant, with a “plug and play” system. Virtually any kind of plant can thrive in the NextGen Living Walls.
ipot collection
iPot is a modular system able to take on an unlimited number of shapes. The structure is assembled by combining lightweight elements via interlocking aluminum tubes and plastic joints. It can be made and re-made.
Climate Office: C+P Living & Water Walls
The C+P Living Walls are an integrated and sustainable solution for climate control, air purification, acoustics, and greening. They are freestanding structures.
Live Pictures & Live Dividers
All Live Systems use a cloth wick to deliver water to the plants, so there is no need for pumps, drip lines, electricity or plumbing.
Our Process
1. Consultation
We may visit your space to evaluate the conditions and suitability of biophilic installations and to take measurements.
2. Design
We have the design tools to create custom designs based on your preferences and project needs.
3. Quote & Deposit
A quote based on the chosen design for your project is sent and a 50% deposit is made. Payment must be made in full prior to shipping, delivery or installation.
4. Specification
We may specify and advise the lighting and/or irrigation requirements for live plant installations. We also source plants and other supporting materials.
5. Manufacture
We produce your product in our workshop which can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on your order and the availability of materials.
6. Install & Maintenance
We install your living wall in your home and office and provide you with easy maintenance instructions.
Want to be a part of the green movement? Did you know that a greenwall can help your building’s LEED score?
Buildings fundamentally impact people’s lives and the health of the planet. In Canada, buildings use nearly one-third of our total energy, two-thirds of our electricity, one-either of our water and transform land that provides valuable ecological resources. A factor is known as ‘urban heat islands’ occurs when cities replace the natural land cover with dense concentrations of pavement, buildings, and other surfaces that absorb and retain heat. This effect increases energy costs, air pollution levels, and heat-related illness and mortality. Impermeable surfaces convert sunlight to heat, while the disappearance of vegetation and construction of tall buildings, industrial structures, streets and parking lots prohibit the occurrence of natural cooling processes such as shading, evapotranspiration and wind diversion. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating systems are aimed at providing independent certification of exemplary environmentally-responsible buildings.
Green design not only makes a positive impact on public health and the environment, it also reduces operating costs, enhances building and organisational marketability, potentially increases occupant productivity and helps to create a sustainable community. LEED provides a voluntary rating system that is consensus-based, market-driven, based on accepted energy and environmental principles balanced with emerging concepts. Through the use of design guidelines and third-party certification tools, LEED aims to improve occupant well-being, environmental performance and economic returns of buildings.

Not only does it help improve the environment, occupant experience but it also increases the value of your real estate. By planting more greenery, you’ll be helping to cleanse the air of harmful toxins. Plants act as a filter to remove air pollutants like dust, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and other harmful toxins from the air. People and plants have a naturally symbiotic relationship. Humans inhale Oxygen (O2) and exhale Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Plants absorb the CO2 during a process called photosynthesis turning it back into O2 again. In short, we rely on plants to provide us with clean air to breathe, and they rely on us to produce CO2 to help them survive and prosper.
