Stadtverwaltung Winterthur

For the reception area in an administrative building, the developer was looking for an innovative indoor planting scheme that would promote its identity. A solution was found with the new Pendularis® greening system, which both celebrates the architecture – thanks to its modular construction – and also adds liveliness to the modern office building.

The 3-row plant installation functions as a playful room separator between the elongated entrance and the reception area. The sophisticated design of the tubular aluminium plant holder and the subtle overhead suspension system makes the plants appear to float in the room.

The upper row (9m) is filled with a mixture of hanging, succulent air plants, which form a fine, green curtain. The two lower rows (5m) contain a broad mix of leafy plants and a uniform row of ferns, providing a lush green contrast. The entire system is watered automatically and is therefore very low-maintenance.
