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.
Let your imagination run wild. The flexibility of our design and installation process allows us to create the design of your dreams that fits any space.
Dream it.
Suitable for indoor projects. 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.
Build it.
Low maintenanance. 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.
Grow it.
Benefits of an Indoor Living Wall
-
A living wall absorbs 41% more sound than a traditional wall. Experience acoustic comfort and ambient noise reduction.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Plants absorb sunlight; 50% of sunlight is absorbed and 30% is reflected which helps to create a cooler and more pleasant indoor environment.

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 before 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 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 organizational marketability, potentially increases occupant productivity, and helps to create a sustainable community. LEED provides a voluntary rating system that is consensus-based, market-driven, and 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. For more information on the LEED rating system, certification, and performance categories click here. (Home (cagbc.org)
Not only does it help improve the environment and 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.
