Client Overview
The Maxwell is a new apartment development in the heart of Kissimmee, Florida, designed with a focus on sleek architecture and modern amenities. To elevate the space and offer residents a visually calming feature, the developers wanted a green wall that required no maintenance but delivered the same biophilic benefits and design aesthetic of a live wall.
Challenge
The project called for a durable, long-lasting green feature that could withstand Florida’s elements while complementing the complex’s industrial-modern aesthetic. The wall needed to offer lush visual texture without the upkeep or irrigation system required by living walls.
Solution
Foliage Design Systems designed and installed a custom artificial green wall system using a mix of high-quality UV-rated faux foliage secured to a custom fitted metal grid.
- The plant selection included a mix of tropical-inspired artificial leaves with layered textures and varying greens.
- The metal framework added contrast and structure, keeping the look clean, modern, and slightly industrial.
- Every element was securely fastened to endure high foot traffic and direct sun exposure without fading or damage.
- The design was tailored to the wall dimensions to ensure a tight, full coverage without gaps or excess bulk.
Results
The finished wall delivers a vibrant, lifelike look year-round with zero maintenance required. Positioned in a high-traffic outdoor lounge area, it brings visual interest, enhances the leasing appeal, and reinforces The Maxwell’s commitment to stylish, resident-friendly spaces.
