Medibank are the primary tenant for 720 Bourke Street’s office tower in Melbourne, Docklands. Medibank’s senior manager asked for a building with significant foliage adorning the facades of the building.
During planning, it was noted that the south-east facing wall only gets a small amount of early morning sun; and spends the rest of the day is in the shade. Fytogreen’s botanist used 72 species and 11,600 plants to create this design. Fytogreen pre-grew this vertical garden in 5 months in shade houses before installation.
Fytogreen also provided 520 pre-grown green facade planters and 16 roof gardens, spread over 16 levels.

Behind the scenes at Fytogreen! Take a peek at our wonderful nursery!
Inside our nursery, we have the diverse infrastructure to develop a truly sustainable specialist living-architecture operation.
Fytogreen has over 850 species as part of the planting palette. A considerable number is propagated internally to continually expand the researched and tested species available to enhance the biodiversity in our vertical gardens.
This is a vital operation, as the general nursery industry does not yet support the specialist vertical garden industry, which has an ever-increasing requirement to use specialised species rather than general terrestrial (landscape) species.
Our propagation area is also notable, allowing us to provide species that are not available in bulk anywhere else in Australia, supplying Fytogreen with a unique advantage when supplying biodiversity to our green walls.

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Pictured here is our beautiful green garden located at Bligh Street, completed in 2011. Fytogreen designed and installed a 40-meter long Fytowall that included plants that would work with the challenging solar orientation.
In 2018, the building management handed this site over to another maintenance group—swipe across to understand why specialist maintenance is necessary.
Maintaining Fytogreen gardens requires close consultation between the botanist and our highly skilled maintenance technicians. This ensures the diversity is preserved while improving sustainability and plant-specific integration, allowing for an improved design and reduced maintenance input.
With proper care and specialist maintenance, plants live out their natural lifespan, and they do not require to be continually replanted with large quantities of fresh plants.
The Fytogreen maintenance division is a group of passionate horticulturists who regularly communicate to advance the divisions’ internal skill base. The team utilise techniques and industry leading products to maintain Fytogreen’s extensive range of projects.
Platinum Tower’s Green Façade in Southbank, Melbourne, was designed and installed by Fytogreen.
The project was completed in close collaboration with @tensile_design_construct and Aspect Studios, which involved creating a green façade that spans between levels 2 to 10 of the tower.
The vertical garden wraps around the podium and provides a natural ventilation system for the car park within. 203 planter boxes were pre-grown at Fytogreen’s nursery facility in Somerville for 9 months.

#greenfacade
A colourful hanging garden inside an atrium of a commercial refurbishment in Macquarie Park.
This sky garden features seven planters that were designed in collaboration with Durie Design.
@fytogreen_australia supplied and installed Hydrocell soil, which significantly improves the soil’s absorption and water-holding ability or potting mix. Using up to 50% less water, depending on conditions and plant species, resulting in more robust blooms along with denser foliage.
Hydrocell reduces compaction in the root zone simply by creating more air space. Because it holds air and water, the plant roots will seek out and grow through the Hydrocell flakes.

The Warringah Mall at Brookvale, Sydney, underwent an incredible multi-million dollar transformation. To create a relaxing and leafy atmosphere, a series of striking green facades were introduced throughout the centre.
Fytogreen was commissioned to provide foliage to cover 14 individual columns throughout the new extension, each ranging in height from 8m to 14m.
Together with @tensile_design_construct , development of a one-off hybrid solution was created. We suspended Fytowall vertical garden panels from 6mm diameter stainless steel cables, then wrapped them in webmesh, providing a climbing and cascading feature element.

🌱 Sustainable Architecture 🌱
Fytogreen worked closely with the Landscape Architect, James Birrell, to design and install a native rooftop garden and green wall that provides a stunning visual impact and advance the residence’s sustainability outcomes through improved biodiversity.
The gardens provide regenerative environmental benefits by planting native grasses and other plants back into the site. They also offer excellent thermal performance that, combined with the structure’s concrete arches, works towards the client’s goal of minimal additional heating and cooling requirements.
With our commitment to greening innovation and prioritising sustainability outcomes. Fytogreen is a perfect partner for any industry professional who looks to achieve positive environmental impact and design for a greener and more sustainable future.

FytoArbour Indoor Atrium by @fytogreen_australia inside LCI Education’s campus.
Fytogreen’s “living beam” brings a fantastic WOW FACTOR and is ideal for greening open spaces internally or externally.
The outstanding advantage of the system is not having plants growing up from the base of the structure as with traditional arbours and pergolas, which usually takes up valuable floor space just where you need it.

As our 12th extensive roof garden installation, the roof garden on the MONA building is spectacular to match the architecture and scenery.
This spectacular extensive roof garden was designed by Oculus Landscape Architect’s, and it nestles onto the main building merging natural structure with built structure. Using many coastal species and a range of succulents and strappy foliage, the garden has minimal maintenance.
Also, flanking the arrival staircase from the pier where the catamaran arrives from Hobart is a series of planter boxes with 4-5m high conifers and trialling over the sides are mesembryanthemum.
