Combining potted plants with the external walls of buildings, wall-pot presents an integrated facade solution.

Presenting a building’s public face, and imparting a sense of identity, the facade is regarded as an extremely important component of the built environment.

The wall-pot concept stemmed from the idea of integrating nature with the facade of a building in a style that mimics nature – much like the way moss appears in the cracks on a rock. wall-pot was designed to contain nature within the crevices of a facade. A design method that can be applied to different construction processes, wall-pot has been conceptualised as an integral aspect of the facade – one that is beyond mere decoration or wall finish.
