A complex design brief

Working with a complex design brief, where the living wall was designed to integrate with another facade material and sit flush with the window openings, our design and operations teams put their heads together to come up with the best solution using the Viritopia Living Wall System.

Getting creative with Viritopia modular system

Also including signage in the facade design, this project is a stunning example of how broad we can be when imaging sustainable facades that make a strong brand statement. As a modular system, we can get creative with where and how we incorporate living walls!
