PRINCIPAL AWard WINNER 2019

snowhill

The living wall alongside the Metro viaduct wall next to Snow Hill Station in Birmingham was the largest in Europe when it opened in 2013. At 220m long and 7m high, and with 604m2 of plants, it is an eye-catching feature. As well as plants, the living wall incorporates decorative perforated aluminium panels, which have been designed to capture artificial and natural daylight. Programmable uplighters bring the wall to life at night and create constantly changing patterns and the illusion of depth and movement. The contractor’s maintenance team can only work at night when the Metro is not running and the power to the overhead lines is switched off.
