That’s a solid concept – a mural that doubles as a green wall, harvesting rainwater and filtering it before it reaches the foundation. You could layer different plant species to create texture and colour, and the system could feed the building’s greywater or even supply a small drip irrigation network for the roof garden. It keeps the wall vibrant, reduces runoff, and turns the street into a living, breathing asset. Just make sure the wall’s base can handle the extra weight and that you’ve got a maintenance plan that fits your schedule – I hate the look of a neglected green wall.

Sounds good – we’ll start with a lightweight base, maybe a composite panel, then layer the mural itself, a waterproof membrane, a drainage layer, and finally the plant beds. Each layer will be engineered to hold its own weight, and we’ll set up a simple maintenance schedule so the plants stay healthy without a full time commitment. Let’s pull the numbers and get the specs on the load for the first draft.
