We trialed two different living wall systems.
The exterior living wall was highly experimental, using native and adaptive species. While the wall panels have been relocated to another site, they continue to overwinter successfully despite the thin profile of the system.

We helped design a 2200 ft² green roof to be a visual demonstration of sustainability. The loose-fit garden of ground cover has rows of grasses and uprights species planted in deeper mounds, which serve as “shelter belts” to create friction and slow down the prevailing western wind.
