7 13 Archi-texture The first time a painting has ever been turned into a Living Wall. This wall has been designed to bring a masterpiece to life. One of Van Gogh s famous paintings, A Wheatfield, was depicted in plants. The true painting can be seen within the National Gallery. 640 modules were grown, using over 8000 plants of varying species. The artwork was created by hand-planting each plant into the modules, using a numbered drawing. The modules were grown on our nurseries in Aldingbourne, hung vertically to establish and then dispatched. Due to the very tight deadline on the project, the whole installation took three days to complete.

8 15 Hundreds of Living Walls have been installed, which are used in many diverse environments Hotels Receptions Architects Atria Commercial Offices Roof Gardens Events & Exhibitions Airports Government Departments Break Out Areas Showrooms Shopping Malls Councils Courtyards Universities Museums Entrances Schools & Colleges Balconies Restaurants Designers We works closely with architects and local councils to transform towns and cities into greener environments. Living Walls can provide environmental benefits in the form of biodiversity, thermal insulation and cooling benefit to the building and noise attenuation. All Wall Systems are designed by our in house team working with clients, designers and architects to any specific style and shape, in both interior and exterior environments. Plant species, selected from an extensive proven planting list purposely designed for the ANS System, are chosen according to the location of the walls. The modules are then planted by hand from a design plan, providing a living solution with colour and texture.

And so was born The ANS Living Wall System : 100% recycled material incorporating organically grown media and backed by our 10 year comprehensive warranty. This proven modular system can be built up and around any structure, to any size - a living work of art professionally designed and delivered to site fully planted to give instant full impact. The system incorporates a fully automatic irrigation system to allow every area of the wall the correct amount of water.

10 Living Walls have the capacity to provide sound insulation for buildings, and absorb surrounding noise. They beautify otherwise barren eyesores of our cityscape and provide unique opportunities for design and creativity. softening of the city enhances image beautification of the landscape can be designed to form dramatic shadows by incorporating plants and lighting LIVINGWALLS ECOTIST Rain water can be harvested and easily re-absorbed. Soils and plants have absorption properties that traditional building materials do not have. THE NEW CITY OF CULTURE Plants help to add oxygen to the air therefore reducing industrial smog, and the planting helps to cool the ambient air temperature.

The range of plants selected comprised 11 different varieties which flower at different times of the year, hence the wall will visibly change through the seasons. a wall so tall to set the mood enchanting plants for simply food take time out, call in here enjoy good chat and atmosphere aroma derived from coffee bean a living wall there to be seen

20 37 planning The Living Wall production begins at our nurseries. Here the modules are hand planted by our team of horticulturists, and remain on our nurseries to give time to allow the planting to become fully established. This is very important to ensure the longevity of the wall. Once they are ready for installation, they are transported to site on a trolley system for protection of the plants. The wall is then assembled by one of our dedicated installation teams.

21 39 nature s way The Body Shop has it mapped out. Another very interesting internal living wall. This was installed for the Body Shop group in the Westfield (Stratford) complex. Due to the nature of the store, a living wall depicting a world map was requested. Soleirolia soleirolii was used for the sea a number of herbs and other plants formed the countries. The wall is divided by the shop front glass, meaning 2/3s of the wall is inside the shop and 1/3 is outside. Each country contains native species of plants, which then corresponds with the line of natural products in the shop. Plants are regularly replaced to keep up with the changing product lines.

22 41 urban build could mean the end to our fine little feathered friend so to give them all a place to rest we ve built in places to nest ecological the story of the birds and bees One of the key features of a living wall is providing habitat for urban wildlife. A large number of animal species are happy to live in urban areas if a suitable habitat can be found. Habitat boxes coupled with carefully chosen plant species, can create fantastic roosting/nesting places for birds and hibernation opportunities for insects. We are able to offer bird, bee and bat boxes, together with insect hotels fully installed into the living wall modules. Our in-house design team will work closely with you as the client to ensure the nesting boxes are installed on the right elevation and that the correct dimension of box is used for the bird species. All habitat boxes are manufactured from sustainable FSC timber and have extremely good insulation properties, making them warm in winter and cool in summer. None of the nesting boxes have decorations that predators could cling to and threaten the birds inside.

27 freestyle 49 livingexamples 500m 2 have been supplied and were installed on the Aquatic Centre. After extensive research by the architects involved in the project, the Living Wall System was the only system that could handle the complex curves and angles of the structure. Planted with blue moor grasses (Sesleria Caerulea), the design was to resemble the rippling of water. As the plants move, swathes of blue and green are created, achieving an awe-inspiring visual impact to the already stunning Aquatic centre. The images shown were taken through the installation! see the swathes of blue green pass created by the living grass

28 51 Dizzy heights Eat up your greens This is an interesting project, right in the middle of a large shopping centre in Christchurch, New Zealand. A framework was constructed, with the facility to hang modules on one side. Once installed, the back of the framework was then covered with murals etc to finish it all off. making an entrance This superb interior wall was recently installed in an executive lounge at the Biggin Hill Airport. A maintenance team regularly visits the wall to carry out a health check on all planting, calibrate irrigation if needed and apply a liquid feed. This ensures the wall is always looking its best as it greets passengers! The living wall at the Network Housing Group s new affordable housing development, near Hommerton Station (London). It stands the tallest living wall in Europe; possibly the world. Topping out at the 14th floor, the wall covers over 220m 2, using over 24,600 plants. The project won the Estates Gazette Green Award Residential Development of the year. Maintenance visit at Digby road When a maintenance visit is due, ANS call in the abseilers! At 13 storeys high, this method is the only realistic way of doing it! Not a job for those who suffer acrophobia.

The Living Wall was installed in the No 1 Traveller Lounge at Heathrow Airport Terminal 3, replicating the wall ANS had already installed in their lounge at North Terminal, Gatwick Airport. Choose your airport; inspect a wall! Ecology meets economy The London School of Economics realised the ecological benefits of installing a living wall on its property. A superb location was found on the 4th floor terrace area, which is viewed by over 9000 students. Fermoy Road, North London Amidst the dust and traffic of busy North London, a vertical landscape has been installed at the end of a 5 storey residential block of flats. The vertical landscape helps reduce the noise levels of city traffic, thereby creating a welcoming environment for the residents.
