Project Background

Part of a much bigger change to Coventry’s city centre, where artist Morag Myerscough has been working with the council to form the vision, our involvement was in the renovation of Pepper Lane.

Featured Solutions:

  • Viritopia Living Wall System (Exterior)
  • Size: 90m²

Windowless street

Connecting to the main street which has more visually pleasing shop fronts, Pepper Lane is made up of more industrial buildings, which had plenty of windowless brick facades.

Art-led design

Now, strips of our soil-based modular living wall system are interspersed with colourful painted brick sections, with a huge piece of art at one end by Matt Chu, named ‘Coffa’s Tree’ – an inventive way of rejuvenating an otherwise forgotten street.

This was completed in partnership with Coventry City Council and Shearer Property Group.
