what is hyvert

science led green infrastructure

hyvert is a patent pending uk registered design modular living wall system.

Every hyvert project is custom-designed, manufactured, grown, installed and maintained by i want plants specialist teams.

being experts in commercial horticulture, we know what it takes for plants to thrive in a challenging urban environment so inventing and perfecting our own vertical living wall system was a natural and obvious progression.

extensive warranty of all our systems backed up with exceptional specialist hyvert aftercare teams and customer success

a british product, proudly made in manchester and installed across the uk.

hyvert is only available from i want plants.

progressive biophilic design

we are pioneers in green infrastructure design and aftercare and believe that making room for nature within our cities is the future. it’s our mission to environmentally improve our urban areas by covering buildings with plants.

its challenging to plant more trees and create new green spaces, especially in dense cities but in a large number of cases, the walls of buildings can be easily retrofitted with masses of plants to create new nature corridors.

the system is exceptional at creating biodiversity, filtering water quality and improving a building's thermal performance.

our consultancy team can also apply predictive modelling on hyvert’s performance for your site.

consideration and implementation

sustainable green infrastructure is an emerging market and when we first consult with clients we appreciate it can feel like the unknown and to be honest, in parts it is.

initially we ask our clients similar critical questions:

what do you want the living wall installation to achieve?

what structure are we fixing too and have the loads been considered?

has the living wall's aftercare been considered?

once installed, hyvert living walls continue to grow so expert led aftercare is essential. they'll need trimming, cleaning, adjusting and as part of their care regime, we even add good bugs to eat the bad bugs!
(an organic approach to pest control which sits perfectly with our ethical values.)

with it's considered design and academically proven technology hyvert will ensure your investment pays back both environmentally and financially for many years.

we also welcome opportunities to give green infrastructure cpd talks at either a client's office or better still, here at our commercial nursery hq where we can give a guided tour too.

pioneering

hyvert is a modular vertical living wall system that harnesses technology to deliver stunning living walls and is uk registered design - patent pending.

as uk manufacturers with a uk registered design, we are 100% accountable for our systems.

the core of the system’s structure is fabricated from high grade recycled battery cell polymer, meaning it can be recycled more times than typical polymers thus reducing the whole life cycle emissions of the system modules.

an ecologically considered design process was key to making a positive impact on the environment as an ethical company.

process

the plants are nurtured at our hq living wall production site to establish strong and healthy growth at the very beginning, so we know that our plants will continue to flourish.

these biophilic designs are bespoke to each project and clients are always welcome to visit our nursery to check up on the growing progress of their infant hyvert living wall.

suitable for both internal and external installation, hyvert is delivered to site with mature planting to give instant visual impact. It can be added to an existing space with the minimum of disruption to existing infrastructure, making it suitable for retrospective installation too.

once installed, the hyvert living wall system benefits from smart technology, including a wi-fi enabled fully automatic irrigation and feeding system. this system monitors every part of the wall, ensuring it receives the optimum quantity of water and minimises water wastage. Post installation we always recommend that our clients utilise our dedicated hyvert after-care service too which includes regular inspections to ensure each green wall stays in perfect condition.

West Village Leeds

Working with Cubic Works, Architects & Designers 3DReid and Contractor Robertson Group for our client Bruntwood Sci-Tech. Bruntwood SciTech's West Village, Leeds was a Custom Installation project where besides roof terrace plants and trees and the installation of a HYVERT Living wall with bespoke rainwater recirculation system, our internal project scope was equally immense!

Commercial Client Manchester

17 York Street has always been a busily occupied office building in Manchester. Refurbished in the 90's it has now benefitted from another sustainable re-fit thanks to the expertise of Reid Architects and Specialist Contractor, RCL Services.

Foundation

Located in Altrincham just South of Manchester, Foundation is a joint venture development between Trafford Council and Bruntwood. This regeneration project is a perfect example of how to address sustainability, economic transformation and social inclusion utilising previously vacant properties in key town centre locations.

The Plaza

Working with Bruntwood and design studio Phaus, we were excited to help to transform The Plaza on Old Hall Street Liverpool into a thriving new communal workspace. The interior design scheme within the communal areas respectfully pays homage to the building's age, but place one foot inside Bruntwood The Plaza's new lobby area and it's instantly apparent that it's now catering perfectly for the modern day needs of it's new community and visitors.

x + why Interior Manchester

We were delighted to be invited back to complete an internal biophilic planting scheme for our new flexible workspace client; x+why. Our Design Director Jessica, worked closely with x+why to ensure we designed and delivered a wellbeing-focussed biophilic scheme for x+why's new Embankment, Manchester location to compliment the beautiful and previously installed, roof terrace oasis (complete with HYVERT living wall).

Cibo Wilmslow

Our previous project at Cibo Wilmslow included the installation of a number of custom-made Bougainvillea trees to the ground floor and on this recent occasion, these were re-styled using an abundance of replica olive foliage instead.
