Scope of works
The Viritopia Living Wall system has been proved by M&S as being the most sustainable, boasting very little water usage and an organic substrate.
Design based on individual stores
This enables us to have natural living walls with indigenous planting in each varied location. We design the planting palate and the rainwater harvesting systems based on individual stores whether they are new build or retro-fitted. However, although the plant species are varied based on each location, the visual appearance of the M&S brand is kept consistent.
Evergreen all year round
The living walls at Newcastle always evergreen with colour and interest throughout the changing seasons. They also provide a cleaner air quality to the busy urban streets and precincts.
