Biophilic Design Biophilic design is an approach to architecture that seeks to connect building occupants more closely to nature and create a more productive and healthy built environment. Strategic and mindful design that (re)connects humans with nature does not just improve the habitability of spaces - it transforms them into rejuvenating, inspiring places that support enhanced health, productivity and learning for all. Biophilic design should be a core strategy for any designer or architect looking to future developments. Fytogreen’s success and technical know-how provides our clients, architects and designers with a rapid interchange of experience that has developed into a cost effective, ecologically sustainable solution for greening the built environment.

Specialist ‘Elevated’ Horticultural Maintenance The maintenance of our unique installations require specialist plant-based knowledge and experience. This is specific Fytogreen technology and is incomparable to general garden or indoor plant maintenance. With proper care, plants live out their natural lifespan and they do not require to be continually replanted with large quantities of fresh plants.

Fytogreen completed the maintenance over the defects period (12 months) using a scissor lift and a boom lift over 2 x 12hr nights, which concluded in November 2017.
•
Maintenance was then handed over to an indoor plant hire company, because centre management ideally wanted 1 contractor to maintain all the greenery in the shopping centre.
•
The columns have gradually deteriorated over time since. Fytogreen believe there has been no notable maintenance or fertilizing performed on the columns.
•
The lack of specialized maintenance on the vertical gardens has cause a whole range of issues; ie. overgrowth, pest issues and water drip issues resulting in dead plants.
Our unique gardens should ONLY be maintained by a specialist, trained in elevated horticulture care.

Soils and Slumpage
Portside. Hamilton. Installation, media, installer unknown.
•
Initial outlay difference at install between specialist podium mix (HY40) to cheap alternative is approx $35 per m2 (500mm deep profile).
•
The repair bill, after the fact can be up to $1000/m2 due to handling, construction equipment, removed media replacement etc.
•
Simply topping up around the plants can cause crown rot & disease.
•
A financial saving to the contractor & builder at install time often has devastating financial costs and inconvenience in the future.
