Glass “Living Wall” – A No-Maintenance Organic Feature

Project Overview
This 48” x 18” exterior-grade artwork reimagines the concept of a living wall using glass. Designed for a private residential roof deck, the piece features vibrant glass inlay entwined around a painted trellis grid, bringing organic movement and color to the space—all without the upkeep of real greenery.

Concept & Inspiration
Inspired by nature’s ability to weave into built environments, this glass installation offers a playful, abstract interpretation of climbing plants. Visible from both inside and outside, it enhances the space with a dynamic, ever-changing shimmer that interacts with natural light.

Material & Execution
Glass is an ideal medium for creating organic, light-responsive features that require no maintenance. Unlike traditional living walls, which demand care and irrigation, this durable, weather-resistant piece retains its vibrancy year-round. The textured concrete base adds depth and contrast, grounding the composition within the urban rooftop setting.

Impact
Installed on a stunning private roof deck with mountain views, this piece brings a lively yet effortless design element to the outdoor space. By merging art with function, it introduces a natural aesthetic without upkeep, offering a lasting, luminous focal point.

Bring your space to life with art that fuses nature and design. Let’s make it happen!
