July 2011. Largest greenwall in Australia completed.

 

Fytogreen has completed the installation of the largest greenwall in Australia at 1 Bligh Street Sydney. The wave-shaped wall is 40 metres long and 9 metres high. Located at the prestigious new commercial building owned by the DEXUS Property Group, the wall is an external wall located where low light levels and wind presented challenges to plants growing in the vertical environment. Several study tours are already visiting the wall including the Green Building Council of Australia's site tour of 1 Bligh Street, Eastern Sydney Architects Group and the Green Roofs Australasia conference site tour. .
