BUILD Architecture Awards 2024 Green Design Architecture Firm of the Year 2024 – Switzerland & Best Completed Green Wall Project 2024 (Europe): Y-vision Yverodn Future Ecosystems Future Ecosystems is on a mission to transform urban environments into greener spaces. By planting bespoke green walls and rooves, the company imbues buildings with a sense of natural beauty, enhancing their sustainability and positive environmental impact. Its work is a breath of fresh air to urban spaces and plays a huge role in setting new standards for environmental care. When you think of urban environments, it’s unlikely that clean air comes to mind. Grey cityscapes bustling with cars, fumes, and concrete don’t instil confidence that we are doing all we can to sustain our earth. While environmental impact is taken seriously in current times, we still have a long way to go, but it’s companies like Future Ecosystems which are propelling us into a new way of life and green, sustainable spaces. Future Ecosystems plants living walls, green roofing, and moss art, giving buildings a natural aesthetic, improving air quality, and creating tranquil atmospheres for improved wellbeing. This involves choosing plants specific to a building’s style, its wider environment, and training others to care for and maintain them with the aid of the company’s innovative technology. Its offering caters to a range of industries, invigorating corporate environments, residential and commercial spaces, public institutions, and hospitality premises. Future Ecosystems is run with the utmost environmental benefit at its heart. It’s built upon a foundation of sustainable practices turned towards an eco-friendly goal. The team chooses plants carefully by conducting a detailed site analysis to assess light exposure, temperature, humidity, and structural integrity. When this assessment is complete, the team then creates a unique, customised design which marries the client’s vision with site requirements and environmental benefit. The company also prides itself on maintaining a wide scope for its work, and it’s particularly proud of one of its earliest projects, during which it installed three green walls for a major global health organisation in Geneva. The team installed 10,500 plants over 110 square metres, also including a fully automated irrigation system for off-site monitoring. The result is a beautiful green space enhancing the building, and it’s easily maintained thanks to forward-thinking technological additions. These green walls have received lavish praise for their tranquillity and just how well they suit the environment. Part of the company’s vision involves adopting evolving technologies which reduce the environmental impact of its work even further and will bring exceptional efficiency to future projects. Its automated irrigation and monitoring systems allow for simple care and optimal water distribution. Coupled with sensors and smart technology to monitor environmental conditions, this is a comprehensive suite of troubleshooting and maintenance tools. The company offers training for staff, homeowners, or anyone using the space regularly to handle routine care and maintenance. Solar powered irrigation, self-sustaining ecosystems, and more are on horizon for its future projects, too. The team is proud to announce that they intend to roll out enhanced services over 2024, including smart green walls, equipped with advanced IoT sensors, providing detailed, real-time analysis of plant health, water usage, and environmental benefits. With the aid of cutting-edge technology going forward, green walls will pull plenty of weight in the caretaking process. The company intends to partner with environmental organisations to invest in carbon offsetting projects to make sure this all occurs with as little negative impact as possible. The team is conscious of the need to maintain high standards of sustainability for new technology as it’s embraced. There are many challenges to sustainability missions, and in particular, the company focuses on the lack of awareness about the benefits of green spaces. It tackles this by running workshops to educate clients and community members about the benefits of its mission, of green spaces, and of sustainability practices at large. With a focus on improving its already excellent customer service and expanding its offering to include a greater range of technological solutions, Future Ecosystems is rapidly evolving, and it’s bringing urban spaces along with it. With its focus on high-quality, sustainable work, and stunning natural designs, it’s setting a fine example of green architecture for years to come.
