Scope of works

A refurbishment in the main office reception area was undertaken and to complete the look of the stunning fit-out, a living wall was required.

As usual, it was a bespoke project with unique requirements and due to the wall being double sided and on the Seventh floor, weight was a critical consideration. The Viritopia living wall modules were fixed to a wooden framework (fabricated by Viritopia) which ran the length of the corridor in a curved shape.
