Hear from our clients

“The seven story wall exceeded expectations. It really puts the building on the map and makes it feel different. Viritopia invited us down to their place at Chichester to see the plants growing. We had detailed conversations around how the green wall would look from a distance, and how we would get colour in it throughout the year. The experience working with Viritopia was very positive.”
Ian Tomes
Strategic Asset Manager, Woking Borough Council
“We’ve had a lot of people stopping to ask questions and to say how much they are enjoying having the green wall there. Taking a risk is how we make change for the future. I’d encourage other local authorities and stakeholders, planners, architects, and designers to get out of their comfort zone and try something new.”
Dr. Juliet Staples
Senior Project Manager, Liverpool City Council
“As landscape architects and ecologists, our goal is to prioritise biodiversity in every project. This type of substrate supports the overall drainage strategy, and because organic substrate is completely natural, it supports biodiversity, improves air quality, and aids in pollution control.”
Roberto Marchetti
Landscape Architect, Lizard Landscape Design
“I am lost for words at the finished result of this living wall, it has surpassed all of my expectations and we have already seen an increase in clients as a result.”
Owner
MOYO Hair Salon
“Viritopia (formerly ANS) helped us from every step of the design process. We had regular visits to the nursery where we watched the plants grow, to regular design meetings. It was really a collaboration.”
Samantha Paul
Senior Landscape Architect, SpaceHub Design
