Living Walls And Improving Office Air Quality
This biophilic design trend of living walls is revolutionising the office space. The inclusion of nature within a working environment fosters a healthy and productive space and helps its dwellers to reach their ultimate potential.
On a basic level, a living wall is a wall made entirely from plants – but let’s get a bit more technical.
Living plants are assembled onto a skeletal structure, which is then hung up to create a vibrant, green wall. The wall then has the ability to grow vertically. These structures not only enhance a building’s look and feel but also improve indoor air quality by acting as a natural air-filtration system. (Obviously, using artificial plants will look great but you will lose the air-quality improvement aspect.)
Living plants function and thrive by sucking in pollutants from the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, and then churning out oxygen. It’s no wonder organisations the world over are opting for living walls as a way to improve the health and wellbeing of their staff.
