Planting composition
Species, density, light and visual rhythm are designed as a living composition.
SIA flagship living wall system
OpenRoot™
Living architecture.
A living wall system designed around what plants actually need and what operators actually have to maintain.
The wall is only the surface.
What determines performance sits behind it: the root zone, water movement, drainage, access, structure and long-term care strategy.
SIA OpenRoot™
Designed from the root zone out.
OpenRoot is SIA’s in-house living wall architecture. Its purpose is simple: create a healthier shared root environment, distribute water with greater control and make the system practical to inspect and service.
System configuration is project specific. Final specification follows site, structural, irrigation and horticultural review.
One system. Four coordinated layers.
Each layer is resolved together instead of being treated as a separate subcontract package.
Shared root environment
A continuous root zone supports oxygenation, moisture movement and long-term adaptability.
Water and nutrition
Irrigation and fertigation are tuned to plant demand, water chemistry and seasonal conditions.
Structure and access
Support, waterproofing, drainage and service access are resolved before planting begins.
We do not compete by adding more plants to a wall. We compete by engineering a better living system.
Designed for a real operating life.
A flagship living wall should still make sense after handover. Our design decisions consider access, inspection, replacement, irrigation reliability and the people who will care for the wall.
