From a vision to promote greener construction, the idea for VERTICAL began to grow. VERTICAL is the result of four years of development within an MUDP project in collaboration with the facade specialist KOMPROMENT, Henning Larsen Architects, and a range of other professional groups such as nurseries, gardeners, building designers, and engineers. The strength of the facade system lies in the combined expertise of all these specialised fields in the industry.

The Green Facade of the Future

The goal was to innovate the traditional green add-on facade systems and create a green, building-integrated facade system that replaces the climate screen. The mission succeeded. VERTICAL differs from other green facades in that the system offers two application options: the facade system can be integrated directly into the building structure, thereby replacing the traditional climate screen, or it can be mounted onto existing buildings.

A Symbiosis Between Nature and Architecture

VERTICAL is developed by BG Byggros, which for 35 years has delivered products, solutions, and expertise to the Scandinavian construction and civil engineering sector. BG Byggros specialises in advanced climate-adapted solutions and consulting for construction and infrastructure projects. With an experienced team of specialists, the company has a clear ambition to be the market’s leading collaboration partner.

In the construction industry, green solutions are often deselected because they do not serve a direct function within the building. When a traditional green wall is mounted on top of a facade, it is often the first thing to be cut when the budget is exceeded. By integrating nature-based solutions directly into the building, VERTICAL makes it far more attractive for developers to choose a greener approach.

”Green facades and roofs are an important element in addressing the biodiversity crisis. It is not only about preserving existing nature, but also about creating new habitats..”

- Landscape Architect and Project Manager, Kamilla Aggerlund.

International interest

VERTICAL has already gained significant attention — including at the German BAU 2023 fair and the international UIA Congress 2023. The system has been overwhelmingly well received and fits perfectly into a market that demands new construction capable of giving something green back and creating a symbiosis between architecture and nature.

The first major project has, since summer 2023, adorned the PFA office building in Nordhavn, and many more green walls are on their way to making cities greener in the coming years.

VERTICAL is a vision to develop a building material that makes it safe and economically viable for developers to bring nature into urban spaces and create new habitats.

Try the VERTICAL design guide and experiment with the different planting concepts and facade cladding types in the facade system.

The consulting process is a complete solution — everything included. We manage the entire process from preliminary design and detailed planning to production, installation, monitoring, and operation.

VERTICAL combines sustainable design with the forces of nature, creating a new natural surface that promotes biodiversity in urban areas.

Here you will find technical documentation (data sheets, tests, and drawings) for fire, wind, structural stability, and frost performance.
