Modular Green Walls vs Non-Modular Green Walls

Green walls are one of the most expressive tools for biophilic design, yet the conversation around them often fixates on aesthetics instead of the structural decisions that determine whether the wall will survive, function, and age gracefully. The most fundamental distinction—modular vs. non-modular construction—shapes everything from irrigation stability to plant survival rates, maintenance burden, design

Living Green Walls vs Artificial Green Walls

What Are living green walls and Artificial Green Walls? Living green walls are a symbol of sustainable design — living ecosystems built into architectural surfaces.

2025 Modern Green Wall Art Inspiration

Modern green wall art is one of architecture’s most expressive tools. Beyond just decorative greenery, it’s a canvas where structure and nature intersect—where preserved moss meets geometry, where lighting becomes part of the biophilic language, and where acoustics merge with art. Every surface becomes a story. Each composition tells a tale of rhythm, balance, and

How Custom Moss Walls Are Created and What You Can Customize

What makes a custom moss wall truly “custom”? A custom moss wall isn’t just a green accent—it’s a carefully designed architectural feature. Each one begins with a base system: a backer (the structural layer that supports the moss) and either a modular or non-modular installation approach. From there, the type of moss, density, color, and
