M&S Longbridge
We were chosen by M&S following our compatibility and success on previous Viritopia Living Wall features for other M&S stores.
Client Background
The Longbridge store is part of a retail development at the site which was previously the MG Rover car factory. Viritopia's living wall installation has added greenery to the area and boosted the environmental credentials, as well as fitting with the aspirations of the M&S eco policy Plan A.

Past successes...
We were chosen by M&S following our compatibility and success on previous Viritopia Living Wall features for other M&S stores, including Newcastle's Northumberland Street store. The living wall features 20 indigenous plant species to encourage biodiversity.
Our living walls are irrigated by rainwater which is captured on the roof by a rainwater harvesting system, and controlled from the team's offices in West Sussex. The rainwater is stored onsite until it is needed, and it is also utilised inside the building as toilet water.
Partners on the project
We worked with M&S and Benoy (Architects).
