Prototype green facade tested at The Green Village

Greenery often offers a good solution for urban challenges such as heat stress, biodiversity loss, and flooding. But where do you find the space?

The facade often remains unused, even though it holds great potential. Leafy has developed a modular, biobased green facade system that helps cities become greener without taking up additional space.

A first version of Leafy's system, made of Accoya wood, was already displayed on the facade of the Dreamhûs pilot project. Now, a second design has been added, developed in collaboration with Bambooder Biobased Fibers and NPSP. This new version consists of a bamboo fiber biocomposite facade system, combined with an optimized substrate and a revised flora and fauna analysis for better plant selection.

With this new setup, Leafy is testing the performance of the sustainable bamboo fiber biocomposite, combined with the self-regulating irrigation system and the latest iteration of the substrate.
