Create a healthier and more inspiring workplace with bespoke office living walls designed, installed, and maintained by Scotscape.
Modern workplaces are expected to do more than provide somewhere to work; they need to create positive experiences for employees and visitors while supporting wider wellbeing and sustainability objectives.
At Scotscape, we design, install, and maintain office living walls and green walls for offices across the UK and overseas. Every installation is designed around the space, available light, planting requirements, and practical needs of your workplace.
Whether you are fitting out a new office or refurbishing an existing workplace, our team can provide a complete solution from initial design through to long-term maintenance.
We have been creating and managing living walls since 2008, combining horticultural expertise with innovative irrigation and maintenance systems to deliver office planting that is designed to thrive.
A well-designed living wall can do much more than make an office look greener - it can become an important part of the workplace environment, helping businesses create spaces that people enjoy spending time in.
Bringing nature into the workplace can help create a more engaging environment, reflecting the principles of biophilic design. This is increasingly being considered as part of workplace design rather than an afterthought. At Salesforce's Dublin HQ, for example, biophilia was incorporated throughout all ten floors, with more than 12,000 plants integrated into the working environment.
Reception areas and client-facing spaces provide a natural setting for a living wall to make an impact. A carefully designed installation can help create a more welcoming environment for visitors. At Jaguar Land Rover’s Sunbury site, the living wall has become a feature that Managing Director David Edwards is proud to show visitors, many of whom comment on it.
Living walls can be designed with both aesthetics and performance in mind. At Jaguar Land Rover, we selected Spathiphyllum, Asplenium nidus, and Aglaonema modestum as part of the planting scheme, while the wall also helps absorb sound within the open-plan space. We have also contributed to Defra's 2024 review of the acoustic benefits of green infrastructure, alongside Anderson Acoustics.
A living wall can provide a visible way to incorporate greenery into a workplace sustainability strategy. At Scotscape, our approach is supported by ongoing research partnerships, including work with the University of Greenwich on pollution absorption, the University of Plymouth on thermal performance, and the University of East London on biodiversity net gain
Vertical planting allows businesses to introduce substantial areas of greenery without taking up the floor space required by conventional planting. Scotscape's Fytotextile system weighs less than 40kg per square metre when fully planted and saturated, while being structurally tested to 530kg per square metre, making it suitable for a range of workplace fit-outs.
Every workplace is different, which is why our office green walls are designed specifically around your building and objectives.
We consider factors including available space, natural and artificial light, access, irrigation requirements, and the overall appearance you want to achieve.
Our team can help you choose the right planting system and configuration for everything from a compact feature wall to a large-scale statement installation.
We can also advise on planting choices and practical considerations from the beginning, helping ensure your living wall remains healthy and attractive long after installation.
We have designed and installed living walls for a wide range of commercial and corporate environments, including projects for recognised organisations such as Jaguar Land Rover, Salesforce, and other major businesses.
Our office planting solutions can be adapted to a wide range of workplace environments and design requirements.
Our interior living walls create stunning planted features in offices, reception areas, atriums, and communal spaces. We design each installation around the available space and lighting conditions, with automated irrigation systems helping to maintain healthy planting.
Moss walls provide an alternative where a living plant system or irrigation infrastructure is not practical. They create a natural visual feature while also offering acoustic benefits and requiring minimal maintenance.
LivingArt® provides a self-contained living wall solution where a fast, flexible installation is required. These systems work particularly well as feature walls in reception areas, meeting rooms, and other prominent workplace environments.
Living green screens can divide open-plan offices and create greater privacy without relying on traditional partitions. They combine planting with functional space division while helping soften the look and feel of larger workplace environments.
Structural columns can become opportunities for planting rather than visual obstacles. Our living columns introduce vertical greenery into collaborative spaces and open-plan offices while making efficient use of existing architecture.
Office Receptions & Entrance Areas: Create an immediate visual impact for clients, visitors, and employees, while making the entrance feel more welcoming.
Open-Plan Offices: Introduce greenery into large working environments, helping to soften hard surfaces and create a more natural-feeling workplace.
Meeting & Collaboration Spaces: Add warmth and visual interest to meeting rooms and collaborative areas, creating a more engaging setting for employees and visitors.
Breakout & Wellbeing Areas: Bring nature into spaces designed for relaxation and informal interaction, helping to create a calmer and more restorative atmosphere.
Atriums & Communal Spaces: Make use of large vertical areas in atriums, stairwells, and shared spaces to bring greater character to the wider workplace.
We offer maintenance and upkeep services for your green office walls. While they primarily maintain themselves thanks to our automated watering systems, we offer regular checkups to ensure your living walls remain in pristine condition, replacing any plants as necessary. This includes:
