Chairman’s Message

Welcome to PERMAGREEN, one of the leading vertical green suppliers for internal and external vertical planting and farming. Modern architecture and interior design are particular perspectives on the human-nature relationship. We at PERMAGREEN know how to combine both disciplines and have learned from nature to trust in it and handle it with care.

Thanks to successful cooperation with the University of Vienne/BOKU, we were able to develop a system that enables us to green high-rise façades, parking garages, hotel lobbies, shopping malls, balcony parapets, and bus station with local plants even in extreme weather conditions such as in the “middle east”.

In addition, we have combined the technology of “vertical farming” with the technology of PERMAGREEN to successfully grow fruits, vegetables, and spices. Customized aluminum façades units meet green wall technology.

INTRODUCTION

NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS

NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS are those solutions to societal challenges that are “inspired and supported by nature, which are cost-effective, simultaneously provide environmental, social and economic benefits and help build resilience.

Such solutions bring more, and more diverse, nature and natural features and processes into cities, landscapes, and seascapes, through locally adapted, resource-efficient and systemic interventions” (Faivre et al., 2017).

Vertical greening, gardening, and farming as nature-based solutions in architecture and interior design provide immense economic potential and multiple benefits for biodiversity as well as humans and their environment. PERMAGREEN’S approach is to value natural capital and to enable its incorporation into the economic system.
