Last autumn, 5,000 plants found their new home on the façade of Friedrich-List-Schule in Ulm. Pre-grown in Vertiko substrate, they were established across 140 m² of façade, giving them a solid foundation for healthy development.
Greening that shapes everyday life
It’s now wonderful to see the results: the plants have flourished, and the façade has visibly come to life.
This is especially valuable at a school, where people learn, work and meet one another every day. Here, façade greening is more than a design feature. It helps to noticeably improve outdoor comfort and eases the building’s thermal load. Through evaporation and heat absorption, plants on the building envelope can have a positive effect on the surrounding microclimate.
A solid foundation for healthy growth
The fleece-substrate system was installed on the substructure supplied by our partner PRO+. Together, this combination provides a stable base for healthy, resilient plant development. Installation of the LivingWALL PLUS was carried out by Karok Gartengestaltung und Landschaftsbau GmbH.
Buildings with impact
This is exactly what lies at the heart of Vertiko’s work: we don’t simply want to green buildings. We want to help shape places where people feel at ease – especially where the future takes shape every day: in schools.
