Due to increasing demand in the Middle East, Viritopia – a leading market provider specialising in the design and installation of living walls – has launched its service in Dubai, UAE. The company is working alongside Dubai-based interior landscaping company Plantscapes who facilitates the supply and installation of the green walls at a local level.
A growing trend in Dubai, living walls of plants provide the opportunity to transform any vertical surface, inside or out, offering the ability to improve energy efficiency and, act as a powerful noise and pollution filter.
Commenting on Viritopia’s expansion into Dubai, Business Development Manager, Steve McIntyre said: “Sustainable economic development is driving UAE government plans. And so finding ways to ensure urban landscaping development is delivered using global landscaping’s newest technology, is becoming an area of major focus for the region’s developers, architects and planners."
We have worked throughout South Africa, including near Cape Town’s central business district. In this bustling environment, many have seen the opportunity to bring nature indoors and introduce a peaceful, serene feel that takes people away from city life.
Several upmarket hotels have had our living walls installed. In sharp contrast to the modern, polished feel the local business district is known for, urban landscaping introduces a contemporary feel to the hotels. The natural beauty helps guests escape the hustle of the city, relax their mind and expand their creativity.
In addition, living walls serve to greatly reduce noise and air pollution. Clear air, clear mind.
