Grosvenor commissioned this green hoarding to surround the Cundy Street Quarter development in Belgravia, Westminster. The new low carbon development was masterplanned by DSDHA and will include a mix of homes, amenities and green spaces. The development is being built to the highest sustainability credentials and the client wanted to show this commitment from the start, as well as show consideration to the local community.
For the duration of the build, the green hoarding will help to improve the appearance of the construction site, reduce noise and dust, and improve biodiversity.
The 2.8m high living hoarding was installed in phases and wraps around the development, covering 115 linear metres in total. The PlantBox living wall system is free-standing so only required restraint fixing back to the plywood hoarding.
The modules were delivered to site pre-planted and being stackable meant they could easily be put into positioned. Plants were selected for their ability to add biodiversity, foliage interest as well as their physical attributes in trapping dust and airborne particulates, and attenuating noise from site.
As part of a circulatory economy, the PlantBox living hoarding can be quickly dismantled at the end of the construction project and reinstalled onto the next site, reducing waste and delivering excellent value for money.
“I would like to take the opportunity via this e mail to thank Grosvenor for creating a new extensive living wall which will act as the hoarding for the Cundy Quarter development being erected along Mozart Terrace. Literally every single household in the street have called me to say how pleased they were to see this being put in place. No doubt the hoarding will be there for some considerable time so it is pleasing to have a pleasant outlook over plain boarding /fencing. Well done Grosvenor and thank you.
