Project specifications
The Standard Green Wall, located at 15 Manning St, South Brisbane, is a pioneering urban greening project designed, supplied, installed and maintained by Fytogreen Australia for Aria Property Group. Designed by Woods Bagot and Form Landscape Architects, and built by Hutchinson Builders, this project features Australia's largest fire-compliant green wall, completed in April 2021. Spanning 410 square meters, the wall showcases 68 plant species and over 9,300 plants. It enhances urban biodiversity, improves air quality, and reduces the urban heat island effect. The wall's design integrates seamlessly with the building's modern aesthetic, contributing to both visual appeal and environmental performance. The Standard Green Wall sets a new benchmark for sustainable urban development, demonstrating Fytogreen Australia's commitment to innovative and eco-friendly practices. This project not only beautifies the urban landscape but also serves as an educational tool and inspiration for future
