Preserved Green Wall Project: Sustaining Nature's Beauty Indoors While Highlighting this Natural Brand in a Unique Way!
In an era where environmental consciousness and biophilic design is gaining prominence, innovative initiatives are emerging to seamlessly blend the beauty of nature with modern urban living and working. One such endeavor is the Preserved Green Wall Project that we did for Nature Made's Corporate Office - a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing solution that brings the outdoors indoors while minimizing maintenance!
What is a Preserved Green Wall?
Preserved green walls, also known as moss walls, vertical gardens, or living walls (even if these aren't living!), are artistic installations that utilize preserved plants to create a lush and vibrant vertical plantscape on the wall. Unlike traditional indoor plants that require continuous care, preserved green walls are designed to thrive without the need for water, sunlight, or soil.
The Preserving Process:
The plants used in these projects undergo a meticulous preservation process, wherein natural fluids are replaced with a biodegradable preservation solution (glycerin!). This process not only maintains the plants' original appearance, texture, and color but also ensures their longevity without the need for regular maintenance.
Environmental Benefits:
- Reduced Water Consumption: Preserved green walls significantly decrease water consumption compared to traditional living walls. As these installations do not require watering, they contribute to water conservation, making them an eco-friendly alternative.
- Minimal Carbon Footprint: The preservation process and the reduced need for maintenance contribute to a lower carbon footprint associated with preserved green walls. Their sustainability aligns with global efforts to mitigate climate change and promote responsible environmental practices. No special grow lights are needed!
Aesthetic Appeal:
Preserved green walls are not only environmentally friendly but also add a touch of natural elegance to any space (which is called biophilic design). Their versatility allows for creative and customizable designs that complement various architectural styles. From corporate offices and commercial spaces to residential interiors, these green installations create a calming and visually appealing atmosphere.
Applications of Preserved Green Walls:
- Corporate Spaces: Offices and corporate environments can benefit from the aesthetic appeal of preserved green walls, promoting a healthy and vibrant work atmosphere. They have been shown to reduce anxiety and promote productivity. We've done hundreds of walls like this one for clients all over the US and Canada!
- Hospitality Sector: Hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality venues can use these installations to create inviting and relaxing spaces for guests. We've done projects for Hilton, Marriott, Westin, even Dollywood!
- Residential Interiors: Homeowners can incorporate preserved green walls as a unique and low-maintenance way to bring the beauty of nature into their living spaces.
Preserved Green Walls represents a harmonious fusion of sustainability and design innovation. As cities continue to grow and green spaces become scarcer, these installations offer a compelling solution to reconnect with nature in an urban setting. By reducing environmental impact and enhancing aesthetic appeal, preserved green walls are paving the way for a greener, healthier, and more visually captivating future.
