Project Background

The living wall at Microsoft Cambridge was designed with biophilic response in mind. Standing at an impressive 11m high, this 33 square metre living wall has made a huge difference to the space!

Installation and maintenance

At such a height, we installed the living wall by a scissor lift, fixing the pre-established modules back to the sub-frame and fitting the irrigation pipes. Maintenance access will also be via scissor lift.

Not only did we integrate the soil-based modular wall, but we also installed a moss wall, as another way to bring natural elements and textures into the space, but without maintenance or irrigation required.

In a modern building there is often a lack of colour, a lack of inspiration, and a lack of nature.  But with plenty of unused wall space, there is huge opportunity to fill what is lacking in terms of natural connection.
