Vertical Gardens in Scandinavia
A solution to increase the green area factor in urban areas
Since the start, Greenworks have focused on the advantages of plants and what effects it has on the environment we live in. It all started with the Moving Hedge in 2009 as a room divider with plants. Now Greenworks have evolved further with competences in design and landscape engineering. Greenworks have been involved in the construction of many outdoor projects already and have been the main contractor at the corner of Drottninggatan and Mäster Samuelsgatan in Stockholm city with the client Vasakronan.
Greenworks are participating in discussions about extended public profits in various networks such as: C/O City, www.cocity.org and Samhällsbyggarna www.samhallsbyggarna.org
Greenworks showroom opens in Madrid
Jardines verticales
Greenworks Madrid showroom is full of life where you can surround yourself with unique plants in living furniture and vertical gardens. Among the centerpieces are the pendants Babylone and Bridge. Greenworks Madrid is just a stone's throw away from Arganzuela's Crystal Palace, Madrid's largest greenhouse and one of its best kept secrets. Leonardo discovered this space to be the perfect match with the Greenworks brand.
At present, Greenworks has several resellers and a hundred completed projects in Europe. In the last two years, Greenworks opened up to collaborations with committed and competent actors on the continent.
Fun with green
at Telia
At Telias new headquarter at Mall of Scandinavia the energy level is high when the three thousand employees enters the building. In the colourful reception our living wall - a mix of plants and reindeer moss - binds together various elements in the seating area, including digital fishes (!!) Crazy but fun! Based on the concept Skogsträdgården by Reflex Architects, Greenworks has together with Nordic Green Design been appointed to carry out this project.
Bridge pendant
Bridge is not only a great desk light, it´s also a creative way to incorporate greenery into your environment, creating endless variations. Light spread is medium and radiates plentiful of full spectrum light suitable for any work or- reception desk. Or why not in a dining area placing fresh herbs in the Bridge.
Vertical garden in Mölndal
at Mölndal Galleria
Mölndal Galleria is committed to becoming the first environmentally certified shopping mall in Gothenburg region, according to the international standard BREEAM, level 'Very Good'. We were commissioned by NCC in cooperation with Ambius to project and construct a vertical garden around a two story arcade.
Babylone LED pendant
Babylone is a spherical plexi-glass pendant with room for plants. The sphere has openings that allows stems and leaves to meander out of the globe. A plethora of plants can be used for a unique expression. The full spectrum light source satisfies the plants and creates a pleasant atmosphere. We recommend to use a mineral rich and high water retention substrate.
Lush vertical garden
at Telenor's Stockholm head office
When Telenor Sweden moved into their new headquarters, they implemented an activity-based approach. The goal is to increase the interaction between the employees, and to encourage to more spontaneous meetings, enhancing creativity and efficiency. Norwegian interior-architects, ‘ Romlaboratoriet’ have designed the space with a focus on openness and use of the buildings great natural light and views.
In this project Greenworks had a few aspects to consider, 2 large led-screens, and a wall-mounted leather sofa beneath. We wanted to create a green and lush plantscape with a minimum of maintenance. We, as well as the client, are very satisfied with the result.
2m2 Green Screen
our brand new living furniture
Our 2M2 Green Screen is an elegant screen for plants. Easily wall-mounted and light weight makes 2M2 perfect for various spaces. The irrigation tank in a matt powder coated stainless steel can be exposed as a discrete piece. As an option we can deliver by measure to fit inside your cabinet or under your work desk.
The choice of suitable plants is broad - and we can provide complete designs to pick from. 2M2 is available in vertical or horizontal format.
This slim vertical garden is already revitalising an increasing number of workplaces around Scandinavia.
