Islington Residential Living Wall

Revitalising an Islington Home with Lush Planting: A Living Wall Design

Meristem were commissioned to revitalise a residential living wall by reimagining its design and installing a new system. The wall became a daily focal point within the home, providing a natural backdrop and bringing lush greenery into everyday life. The client sought a composition rich in colour, texture and movement, while also supporting local biodiversity. Alongside the redesign, we replaced and repainted the fascia and refined the area beneath the wall to create a cohesive and polished finish.

Our aim was to create an elegant living wall that feels alive year-round, incorporating resilient and ecologically rich planting. The textures and tones of the wall were designed with contrast in mind to creating a wall that feels dynamic and visually interesting. Improving the efficiency and precision of the watering system was a top priority in this project to ensure long-term sustainability with minimal maintenance.

Working with the irregular structure of the existing wall required a customized and carefully coordinated approach. By adapting the modular system, refining surfaces, and developing a planting scheme suited to varied conditions, the team ensured both functional integrity and long-lasting visual interest. The planting scheme included the following:

Convolvulus cneorum
Soleirolia soleirolii
Rosmarinus prostratus
Euphorbia amygdaloides purpurea

Custom Integration

The modular system was tailored to align with the wall’s uneven form, achieving a seamless fit.

Surface Restoration

Repairs and refinishing created a clean, stable base for the new installation.

Precise Installation

Coordinated on-site work ensured accurate placement and a refined final appearance.

Diverse Planting

The plant scheme was curated to provide varied colours, textures and adaptability.

The renewed wall has transformed the space into a calming, living feature that elevates both interior and exterior views of the home. Its ecological benefits and seasonal evolution make it not only visually striking but also a meaningful contributor to the surrounding environment

Enhanced Atmosphere

The living wall introduces a serene, natural focal point that enriches the home’s ambience.

Ecological Support

By attracting pollinators and small wildlife, it contributes to a healthier, more biodiverse ecosystem.

Seasonal Interest

The planting design ensures ongoing change and vibrancy throughout the year.

Long-term Vitality

Our continued maintenance plan guarantees the wall remains healthy, resilient, and visually compelling for years to come.
