The Robertson Building

In March 2004, a 24-square meter living-breathing plant wall, or "biowall" was installed in the main lobby of the Robertson Building. Designed by a team from Air Quality Solutions Ltd. the biowall is composed of several varieties of native and exotic indoor flowering plants that are snuggled into their own individual pockets in a blanket of special planting material that allows water to filter through the plant roots. This unique feature graces the building with a stunning blend of colour and fills the lobby with fresh humidified air on a continuous basis. It is a calming respite from the busy street outside.

Hello from the go-green girl at Urbanspace Property Group! As you know back on March 24, 2004, we installed a 24-square metre living-breathing plant wall (biowall) in the lobby of the building. How do you think it looks? How does it make you feel when you arrive at the building? These are the kinds of questions we are interested in exploring with you over the next year or so. From our perspective the plant species have acclimated very well  in the Roberton environment and have grown and expanded profusely over the past year.
