The work of Habitat Horticulture combines our knowledge of horticulture, environmental psychology, art, design and construction with a belief that plants have an invaluable capacity to enhance the relationships existent between people and place. Our practice designs, installs and carefully maintains vertical gardens with an underlying design philosophy that seeks to promote the psychological and environmental benefits of plants in urban settings. Through a constant interchange with our clients we work through the design process from inception to completion to deliver and maintain truly unique living walls that define and enrich the spaces they occupy.

Suspended over a stream in LA’s Hancock Park, the Bridge House is a stunning fusion of architecture and nature—and its living wall is no exception.

In collaboration with Dan Brunn Architecture, Habitat Horticulture designed a lush, 115-square-foot vertical garden as the focal point of the home’s entertainment room. Inspired by the forest understory, the wall sits beneath a skylight and features six plant species with varied textures and monochromatic greens, plus playful bursts of orange from the Goldfish Plant.

As an extension of the surrounding landscape, the wall was treated like a living artwork, enhanced with custom lighting and built using our sustainable Growtex® system made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.

A bold design for a bold setting, where home and habitat truly meet.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our panel at From Seed to Skyline!

It was a pleasure connecting with you and hearing so many thoughtful questions around the intersection of ecology, façade design, and living walls.

Let’s keep the conversation going—and keep working toward a shared goal: bringing to life cities that are designed with nature in mind. Cities that breathe.

At The Logan condos in Oakland, the entry passageway becomes something else entirely.

Flanked by lush living walls and the sound of cascading water, the street-level approach feels like walking through a fern-lined canyon. Though each side gets different light, the planting stays cohesive—anchored in ferns and adaptable species, with subtle ribbons of Carex ‘Evergold’ pulling you inward.

In the lobby, a large preserved moss installation carries the sense of calm inside.

A contemporary nod to the classic conservatory.

This living wall installation takes cues from Victorian-era glasshouses, with sculptural staghorn ferns as focal points and a restrained mix of species that shift gently from light to deep green. From a distance, the planting reads as a quiet mosaic—layered, cohesive, and refined.

Calm, textural, and intentionally understated.

Multiple plant walls shape the experience at this site.

Along the driveway, a lush living wall uses texture and movement to gently pull you inward—wind-tolerant Lomandra catching the breeze, asparagus fern adding fine, layered detail. Elsewhere on the property, two more walls play off the same plant palette.

Together, they balance softness, motion, and vibrancy—all designed to handle the wind.

Swipe to see how each wall plays its part.

One of our proudest walls.

Rising four stories along a residential courtyard façade, this living wall was designed with BDE Architecture to bring a striking vertical landscape into the city.

It stretches from the second to the fifth floor—visible to residents above and to pedestrians passing below—inviting people to look up and experience greenery woven into the architecture.

The palette was designed to feel alive from every angle. Agapanthus, vibrant heucheras, oxalis, and other richly scaled species create depth and color, while sweeping ribbons of Lomandra move gently in the breeze.

Behind the scenes, the wall is installed over a specialized waterproofed façade system and maintained by swing stage—an example of how living walls can operate successfully at scale!

A sun-drenched courtyard, softened by a lush living wall.

At Kennedy Wilson’s headquarters in Los Angeles, greenery becomes part of the daily workplace experience: a calm visual anchor, a moment of retreat, and a more inviting environment for employees and visitors alike.

Designed in collaboration with Wolcott Architecture, this project shows how biophilic design can help transform workplace settings into spaces that support mood, focus, and overall well-being.

A courtyard like this reminds us that even in the middle of a busy city, the workplace can still make room for restoration.

Introducing our first living walls in New York.

After years in development, the first phase of our work at 60 Wall Street is officially installed: two new living walls within the building’s newly reimagined public lobby.

These walls are part of a much larger biophilic vision for the 47-story Manhattan tower. Still to come: a 100-foot-tall feature wall that will become the largest indoor living wall in North America, along with eight suspended living “stalactites” designed to bring greenery into the full height of the atrium.

For the plant palette, David Brenner drew inspiration from the vivid patterning of rainbow eucalyptus bark and the warm, radiant color of Manhattanhenge. In a nod to the site itself, the full palette includes 60 different plant species for 60 Wall Street.

As the remaining elements take shape, the space will continue to transform into a layered, living environment designed to calm, energize, and draw visitors upward toward the atrium’s monumental skylight.

More to come soon.
