Britomart Green Wall

This series of green walls improved tenant retention and became an iconic image for the precinct.

The green walls also contributed to an overall rating of 5 green star points for the client.

"The investment made in these green walls has paid off with increased building value, high tenant retention and an improved green star rating."
- Matthew Cockram, CEO of Cooper & Company and Britomart property owner.

The client had a long-term vision to transform Britomart into a community where people live, work, shop and play. The green walls needed to differentiate the complex's interior aesthetic. The overall composition was influenced by the shadows that fall on the wall during the day, with repetition of planting patterns loosely referencing those found in traditional Mãori carvings.

The planting palette features a combination of native and exotic epiphytes, ferns, climbers and groundcovers. A collection of flowering plants provide seasonal variety and have been specifically chosen to ensure falling drifts of petals don't stain the steel grey tiles below.
