10 living walls that reconnect commercial spaces with nature

16 févr. 2023  •  Spécifications  •  By Surabhi Patil

With ever-increasing urbanization and industrial growth, the need to reconnect with nature is becoming more and more apparent. One of the innovations to aid this is the growing trend of incorporating living walls into commercial spaces as a plane of plants or natural materials. 

 

Living walls have numerous benefits, both in terms of aesthetics and practicality. Not only do they help to create a more inviting environment, but they also provide ecological benefits like temperature regulation, improving indoor air quality, and acoustic insulation. In addition, living walls offer a relaxing environment and promote sustainable living. Living walls are becoming a common feature in commercial landscapes, providing a vibrant, living tapestry of plants, greenery, and colour to an otherwise sterile environment.

 

From corporate offices to shopping malls, airports, and universities, living walls can be found in a variety of places. The following list is a selection of ten inspiring living walls that liven up commercial spaces by reconnecting them with nature.
