Marine Parade

GreenAir collaborated closely with the talented landscape design team at Xanthe White Design and Evan Mayo from Architecture Bureau to create an iconic external green wall for this award-winning beach house. This installation not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the property but also aligns with the homeowner’s vision of sustainable, nature-integrated design. The project exemplifies GreenAir’s ability to bring lush, living installations to even the most challenging environments, showcasing innovation and artistry in biophilic design.

This exciting residential project provides a grand entry to the property, with the green wall beautifully wrapping around the house and framing the windows. Given the home’s proximity to the ocean, the site is exposed to a salty easterly wind, which presented unique design and sustainability challenges. To ensure resilience, GreenAir carefully surveyed local coastal gardens, identifying plant species well-suited to these tough coastal conditions. This adaptability not only highlights the green wall’s durability but also allows the garden to thrive year-round, embracing the natural environment of Mount Maunganui.

The green wall incorporates a sophisticated, high-tech management system to keep the plants healthy and vibrant. This system includes a recirculating watering mechanism with programmed nutrient feeding, PH testing, and regulated top-ups. Such precision ensures that the green wall remains lush and well-maintained, regardless of the harsh coastal elements. The advanced system represents GreenAir’s commitment to sustainability, supporting long-term plant health while minimizing water waste and environmental impact.
