11 Incredible Living Walls
The idea of a living wall conjures up all sorts of images, but in reality it is nothing more than a wall completely covered in vegetation. In order to create a living wall pre-vegetated or fabric panels containing plastic containers, or geotextiles, as well as irrigation systems and vegetation are attached to the wall or supporting structure. This form of urban gardening is often designed as an art form to decorate buildings in cities and has been hailed as one way to make cities more enjoyable, healthier and ultimately greener places.
1. Musee du Quai Branly [Paris]
One of the best loved vertical gardens inhabits the walls of the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris. Created by Patrick Blanc, the inventor of vertical garden systems, this living wall is simply stunning. Not only do these types of vertical gardens improve the appearance of buildings, but they also improve air quality and lower energy consumption.
2. SkyFarm [Toronto]
This 714 foot structure in downtown Toronto, Canada is a superb example of how living walls and vertical gardens can actually be profitable as well as beautiful. The 58 story building only requires 1.32 hectares of land and yet will have 8 million square foot of agricultural space due to the vertical design of farm. It is said that the crops could yield up to $23 million in revenue per annum.
3. CaixaForum Museum [Madrid]
Another amazing living wall design created by Patrick Blanc, the CaixaForum museum has become a popular tourist attraction largely thanks to this creation. Approximately 15,000 plants of 250 different species were used to cover this 24 metre high wall. The juxtaposition of the old building with the vibrant and alive wall makes this a truly spectacular and memorable building.
4. Vancouver Aquarium [Vancouver]
This award winning living wall was created to act as a noise buffer from the city street and to prove that buildings and ecology can be integrated to enable cities to become greener. Covering 500 square feet the wall is made up of thick modular panels and supported by a galvanized steel frame, making the installation of replacement plants easier and more cost effective.
5. Marche des Halles [Avignon]
Another fabulous living wall design by Patrick Blanc, this creation illustrates that not only are urban vertical gardens ecologically beneficial but they can also prove to be highly artist creations as well. The ingenious design means that no soil is required and the careful selection of plants means that maintenance is kept to a minimum.
6. Qantas First Lounge [Sydney International Airport]
Traveling, even when on holiday, can be stressful. Airports are busy, noisy places and waiting for a flight is incredibly boring and sometimes frustrating - but not if you are one of the lucky few to wait in the Qantas First Lounge in Sydney Airport. Here everything is designer, and the presence of a living wall automatically de-stresses a person. Simple, elegant and a great work of art - this is definitely one of Patrick Blanc’s best pieces.
7. Parabienta [Japan]
This eco-friendly living wall is the result of a collaboration of two Japanese companies, Shimizu and Minoru Industries. Said to be relatively inexpensive to create and maintain, the living wall makes a significant contribution to cooling the building thereby helping to lower energy consumption.
8. Siam Paragon Shopping Centre [Bangkok]
The Siam Paragon Shopping Center would have looked positively dull if it wasn’t for the living walls strategically placed in the interior of the mall. Creating a calm atmosphere and adding color, the architecture now looks absolutely stunning. It is a great example of how bringing gardens indoors can spruce up any interior, especially 0% credit card carrying locals and tourists looking to splash some cash.
9. Rica Talk Hotel [Stockholm]
The restaurant in the Rica Talk Hotel was transformed into a botanical oasis by Michael Hellgren, a landscape architect. To fill the 82 meter square space, he used approximately 3000 plants from more than 100 different species. The effect is a cozy, natural environment making this a truly unique restaurant.
10. Oulu Bar & Eco-Lounge [Williamsburg]
Cited as Brooklyn’s first living wall, the Oulu Bar & Eco-Lounge certainly attracts attention with its huge external living wall. Manufactured by a company called ETL and installed by Green Living Technologies, this stunning vertical garden covers the entire front facade of the building and makes a beautiful contrast against the wooden door and window frame. The entire building looks designer chic proving that being green can be trendy.
11. Another amazing green wall that was completely missed as pointed out in the comment section of this post.
Comment: You’re missing the amazing green wall in Terminal 3 of Changi Airport, Singapore. http://www.airport-technology.com/projects/changi/changi7.html
pictures don’t really do justice to the amazing scale of the thing. it’s a weird experience to arrive into this building when you’re paying attention

Just to be clear, as a resident of Toronto… the SkyFarm does not exist. Oh, it may exist in dreams and there may be small models of it in an architects office somewhere, but as of today there is no such building in the city. Where it has been poorly photoshopped into the above picture is actually the soon to be home of the new Festival Tower, a condo/hotel designed to be home base for the Toronto International Film Festival. Having said all of that, as a citizen of this great city, I welcome the SkyWall with open arms. It looks really cool. Oh and, FYI, it probably won’t be able to keep the name SkyWall… so we may as well start calling it by what will be it’s real name… the Rogers Wall (little in-joke for the locals).

I love green walls, but some of these images look fake. I couldn’t tell if the toronto one was something under construction and not build yet or not.
I think green walls are just beautiful and are good alternative to green roofs that might not work for your area.

That SkyFarm in Toronto was only ever a concept.
The property where this image is show is obviously a bad render. The property is now owned by someone else and is constructing a building called the Bell Lightbox. This building will not be green (except to the city of Toronto’s mandatory green building standards) and will be used for theatres for the Toronto International Film Festival and residential units.
chemicallygreen.com posted on March 12, 2009:
@Benjamin Button: Thanks for your comments. We thought adding the Skyfarm to our list would be cool, even thought it has not been constructed.
“Gordon Graff’s Skyfarm isn’t intended as an out-there suggestion of what might be. He’s convinced it would work, right now. In Graff’s conception, Skyfarm is a self-sustaining system.
It almost has to be: With virtually no penetration of natural light, Skyfarm’s demand for electric lighting comes in at an estimated 82 million kilowatt hours per year. The average household uses about 10,000 kwh annually.
Hooking Skyfarm into the grid would completely cancel out any of the energy-saving advantages gained by not having to truck its produce thousands of kilometres. And then there’s all that water – 59 storeys of hydroponic plants, stacked half a dozen storeys deep.
But Graff thought of that. Skyfarm would be equipped with its own biogas plant, to produce methane from its own waste. When burned, methane produces less carbon dioxide than other hydrocarbon fuels. It would be used by Skyfarm to produce its own electricity.
When Skyfarm is unable to produce enough waste to power itself – Graff estimates that the farm’s internal waste would generate enough methane to fulfill 50 per cent of its energy needs – he suggests a win-win partnership with the city. Waste that travels to civic composting facilities – with questionable renewability, by some accounts – could be diverted to Skyfarm’s anaerobic digester to produce the methane it needs. Skyfarm could take on some other problems to its benefit, too: Sewage is a rich methane source.
And the water issue? Enter the Living Machine, a patented biological water-filtration system that would recover waste water from sewage and divert it to Skyfarm’s hydroponic growing demands.”

Santiago rickyrran posted on March 18, 2009:
the one in Paris does not exist, there is only one building in Paris that could be as tall and it doesn’t have a vertical garden nor that shape. Besides there is a law in Paris that does not allow buildings to reach or go beyond a certains number of stories. Poor photoshop job by the way
fun-da-mental posted on March 18, 2009:
These green walls are indeed fantastic ideas/concepts and fortunately already often realities. They use space that would otherwise just be wasted with, basically..nothing at all!
And plants in buildings art just totally relaxing and they create fresh air out of CO2.
Thanks for bringing this compilation!
Karen Maskall posted on March 18, 2009:
Verticla farms in cities. That’s an amazing idea. I wonder if this will become a reality. No reason why not is there?
I’m sure there are plenty of hotels with flat roofs that could build vertical gardens on top and grow their own organic veggies.Or would the veggies be polluted with toxins from traffic?
Great post anyway… plenty to think about!

Sorry, no green walls for me: weathering is accelerated when plants enter the picture. Oh, sure, the walls might be designed to disallow plants from violating the integrity of the wall. However, plants are sure to get around our designs. Have you considered the cases with Ficus trees? They have broken water mains and slab foundations, I believe.
chemicallygreen.com posted on March 30, 2009:
@SaraAbigail: Thank you for your comments. How many ficus trees do you see in the pictures in this post? Just wondering?
The ficus tree is an indoor plant, is this correct or where is the best area of the country to grow if planted outdoors?
The weeping willow will destroy fill lines, drains, cement patios built flush to the ground and septic tanks in the South.

I didn’t say that ficus trees are in the pix. I know little about plants except the inconveniences that they cause. When I stated “consider the ficus tree”, I was speaking about roots in general, it was to note that they can damage building structures.
All I know about ficus trees is that they are very pretty but that my parents and/or our neighbors had to remove some outdoor ficus trees to stop damage to their homes.
I don’t know whether ficus is considered inside or outside plants, nor the geographic locations best suited to planting ficus trees.

Terry posted on November 13, 2009:
What I liked about this is the over exageration of your far-fetched minds of whoever wrote the specs of that wall. Some one was smoking the wacky weed and using a calculator backwards writing those specs.
A 714′ tall building that is 58 stories tall, with 8 million square foot of agricultural space due to the vertical design of farm, with a yearly yield of crops of 23 million dollars. You could solve the Worlds hunger crisis.
Given you the benefit of doubt, a buiding 714′ tall at that slant would only yield you less than 13′ per story or 754 linear feet of slope. Now take your 8 millon s/f divide that by 754 l/f and you have a 10,610 feet long, just over 2 miles long wall.
I, sure would like to read any comments about this.
