Living Wall For Thompson Residences

Render of living wall

gh3’s first built example of a vertical planted form will be completed in the fall of 2011. Installed at the entry level of the Thompson Residences, the aim of the design is to produce a unique, independent structure that distinguishes itself from the architecture of the building.

CNC-milled foam slabs are secured to two columns . The sculptural structure is equipped with a rainwater irrigation system to sustain the sedum and moss plantings.
