Flowers on the Wall
These visualisations were created for Red Squirrel Architects’ successful Planning submission with The City of London – 20 Cousin Lane which is located next to Cannon Street Station close to the river Thames. The building promotes the principles of ‘circular economy’ and recycling within the construction industry. The design – which is based on the ‘honeycomb conjecture theory’ includes more than 500 recycled cast aluminium screens, a 5 storey living wall and planted roof terrace.
Alastair Moss who chairs the City of London’s planning and transportation committee hailed the scheme. He said: “This innovative, radical project is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when designers and planners work together and think outside the box.”
‘Empty drinks cans put in the recycling by residents and businesses in the City could soon be gracing a green wall besides the River Thames. A City building will be transformed with a living wall made from tonnes of old drinks cans and compost. Two metric tonnes of recycled aluminium drinks cans and 1.5 tonnes of garden compost will be used to build the wall to refurbish a building next to the River Thames. And the drinks cans come from waste firm Veolia UK’s materials recovery depot just across the river at Southwark, which sorts recycling waste from homes and businesses in the City of London. After they’ve been shredded they will be transformed into honeycombed aluminium panels at a specialist metal fabricator. And compost made from garden waste will be used to fill planters on the wall to brighten up the building.’ – mylondon.news
Everyone involved was very happy with the set of images. First being used as part of the successful planning application and then by numerous news agencies around the world –
