A New Record in Vertical Greenery at ROBE
Green façades are transforming the way we design urban and industrial spaces. When we completed the 690 m² green façade at a major commercial center, it became the largest of its kind in Central Europe. However, this title lasted only a month—until we completed an even larger green façade at ROBE’s industrial facility.
A New Benchmark: 740 m² of Green Space
ROBE’s industrial complex now features green façades on two buildings—its administrative offices and central warehouse. Spanning an impressive 740 m², the façade integrates over 45,000 plants, carefully arranged in 2,800 Biotile® modules. Each plant contributes to the environment—cooling the building, improving air quality, and reducing noise pollution.
Green Walls by the Numbers:
- 740 m² of green space
- More than 45,000 plants
- 2,800 individual BIOTILE® modules
- 11 plant species
- Reduction in dust and noise pollution
Why Implement Green Walls in Industrial Areas?
Industrial zones are often dominated by concrete and steel, which absorb and amplify heat, especially in summer. Green façades act as natural climate control systems—they cool down buildings and their surroundings, trap dust particles, and significantly lower noise pollution.
The green façade at ROBE’s facility not only provides a cooling effect but also helps retain water, regulate humidity, and promote biodiversity.
Proven Benefits from Experience
The advantages of green façades are not just theoretical. In 2019, we built the world's first living hall—LIKO-Vo. After more than five years of operation, we have clear evidence of the benefits that greenery provides—not only to the building itself but also to the surrounding environment. The plants on the façade help stabilize temperatures, enhance biodiversity, and reduce dust levels in industrial settings.
Biotile®: A Proven Hydroponic System for Vertical Greenery
The Biotile® modular system used in ROBE’s green façade is the same proven solution installed at previous commercial and industrial sites. The project required detailed planning and careful pre-cultivation of the plants in a specialized greenhouse. The plant selection was meticulously adjusted based on building orientation and environmental conditions.
A Green Façade that Comes to Life with Lighting
As a global leader in lighting technology, ROBE lighting, s.r.o. ensured that the green façade also integrates a dynamic lighting system. This not only enhances its ecological benefits but also turns it into a striking architectural feature—a visual highlight that stands out even at night.
Green Façades: A Sustainable Future for Architecture
The completion of this record-breaking green façade proves that green architecture is not just a trend but a practical and sustainable approach to modern construction.
