Tower Four - Collins Square, 727 Collins Street, Melbourne. Walker Corporation Woods Bagot Brookfield Multiplex Fytogreen Australia October 2016
Collins Square is a premium A grade commercial development which has been fitted with the largest and tallest indoor green wall in the Southern Hemisphere, provided by Fytogreen Australia. Spanning from level 7 upto level 20 of the atrium area, this living wall, used approx 13,890 plants to provide a range of benefits to the building and its occupants. Aesthetic - Over 16 species were used to provide a range of colours and textures, creating an amazing, lush, vista for the offices spanning the 14 levels. Improved Air Quality - Large numbers of plants in a small foot print allows the plants to reduce VOC’s, reduce CO2 levels and enrich O2 levels.
Reducing Indoor Air Temperature - Air passively passing the edges of the green wall modules is cooled by the water content of the living wall. This cooler air spreads to the lowest floor area and passively assists the buildings air-conditioning. Reduced Noise / Echo - The plants combined with Fytogreen’s hydroponic growing media reduces sound waves, creating a natural sound absorbing surface. Improving Building’s Value & Livable Space A thriving, ecologically sustainable green wall adds to the buildings value by creating an impressive living landmark, while increasing the sensation of well being for the buildings occupants.

“Beautiful, bold and brilliantly green” is the way this next generation sustainable office building is described. This 27-level tower at 1 Bligh Street is Sydney’s first 6-Star Green Star Office Design V2 Certified building which promises to provide a new benchmark in sustainable design.

The 40 meter long green wall presents its own site challenges due to its solar orientation. A research and development program will support the on-going sustainability of this special project, to nurture and investigate suitable plant species for the on-going maintenance of the green wall.

This project was commenced in 2011 and finished early 2012. The size of this roof garden makes it the largest green roof in the southern hemisphere. Around 110,000 tube stocks of indigenous ground covers, sedges, lilies, succulents & nonwood shrubs were used. All species selected were native & indigenous to the area. The design brief was to replicate what would have been growing there prior to human habitation. Being a coastal ecologically sensitive area the brief from the client was to minimize the visual impact of Australia’s largest municipal water treatment plant. The quality of the design has been commended by the Victorian State Architects office, DSE and other government entities.
