At Queen’s Wharf in Brisbane, Fytogreen has delivered a unique vertical greening solution through the installation of 10 suspended FytoColumns. Each column stands 8 metres tall and is designed to support a diverse plant palette suited to the atrium’s microclimate. The system covers 73 square metres and hosts 1,890 plants across 82 species, contributing to improved air quality, thermal regulation, and visual amenity.

This project required a multidisciplinary approach, involving detailed daylight analysis, plant selection, and structural integration. Fytogreen collaborated with Fresh Landscapes, Cottee Parker Architects, and Multiplex to ensure the columns were safely suspended and harmoniously integrated into the architectural design. Structural rigging was engineered by Innovative Rigging, and Fytogreen continues to manage the ongoing maintenance to support plant health and system performance.

The FytoColumns demonstrate how vertical greening can be adapted to complex indoor environments, offering ecological and aesthetic benefits without occupying floor space. This installation supports urban biodiversity and aligns with broader sustainability goals in large-scale developments.

Fytogreen’s work at Queen’s Wharf reflects a growing interest in integrating living systems into built environments. By combining horticultural expertise with engineered solutions, the project contributes to a more resilient and nature-connected urban future.
