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.

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.
