Urban heat islands are created through a combination of factors. Green spaces and vegetation play a vital role in reducing surface temperatures through evapotranspiration, where plants release water to the surrounding air, dissipating ambient heat. Meanwhile, urban geometry, with its obstructive structures, traps heat at night. Additionally, urban surfaces absorb and store more heat compared to natural ground cover, raising temperatures further.

Understanding these factors helps us create cooler and more sustainable cities.

Living walls have a considerable impact on reducing urban heat. Covering walls and facades with greenery reduces the amount of direct sunlight that hits hard surfaces and helps to absorb some of the sun's energy thereby bringing down the surface temperature.

How concrete, asphalt and urban heat islands add to the misery of heat waves

Studio Spicer Architects are an incredibly passionate urban greening and sustainable architecture practice, so we were thrilled when they approached us to create visually stunning living walls across two sides of their head office in Stratford upon Avon.

The design concept was to convey the idea of waves using different plants and colours so that the pattern would be visible throughout the year, no matter the season.

The team at Studio Spicer were inspired initially by two local Scotscape Living Wall projects and their goal to build a new head office where the fabric of the building had more than one role.

Founder and MD Oliver Spicer was very keen to make an impact visually, especially as their new office was located in the Stratford town centre regeneration zone.

We are proud to be able to finally showcase this innovative biophilic design and living walls project for Salesforce.

We designed an office space in the new Salesforce flagship HQ that was under construction in Dublin to help maintain their leading position in The Fortune500 ‘’100 best companies to work for”.

Having supported Salesforce globally on their biophilic design using living walls and planters in several of their office refurbishments, including London, Amsterdam & Paris, our brief was to continue to enhance this trend by aligning the workplace with nature and the environment to support improved employee wellbeing and productivity.

We were also asked to consult on the external landscape design, with a view to improving the biodiversity value of the landscaping. This included the development of a Biodiversity Plan alongside TrinityCollege Dublin, supported by Stok (US based sustainability consultants), CBRE and the Salesforce Design Team to identify local pollinators.
