CompactLine Green Wall Transforms Zurich Hospital Entrance

How do you create an impactful green wall when technical space is limited? University Hospital Zurich demonstrates how this is possible with Sempergreen’s CompactLine. Upon entering the hospital, visitors and staff are greeted by a stunning green wall that instantly evokes a sense of calm and well-being. This innovative solution shows that even greening small surfaces can make a significant difference.

Cleaner air

1 m² of living wall filters fine dust, absorbs 2.3 kg CO₂ and produces 1.7 kg oxygen per year.

Cradle to Cradle certified

SemperGreenwall systems meet the highest standards for quality and sustainability, holding a Bronze-level Cradle to Cradle certification.

Extends facade life span

A living wall shields your facade from sun, rain, wind and temperature changes, extending its lifespan.

Transforming into an inviting green space

The hospital aimed to transform its reception into an inviting, green space, giving visitors and staff a warm, welcoming feeling upon arrival. At the same time, the solution needed to fit seamlessly within the existing structure and be appropriate for a healthcare environment.

Easy implementation

The main challenge was the lack of technical space in the building. Many green wall systems require special facilities like water connections or technical installations, which were not feasible for this project. Moreover, the solution had to be installed quickly and with minimal disruption to the hospital’s daily operations.

A functional and aesthetic solution

The University Hospital Zurich sought a green wall system that was functional, sustainable, and perfectly aligned with the existing architecture. Low maintenance and a lasting positive impact on visitors and staff were also key requirements.

CompactLine: compact, smart, and flexible

Sempergreen’s CompactLine proved to be the ideal solution. This system combines the advantages of the renowned SemperGreenwall with an integrated water reservoir, eliminating the need for external water connections or technical spaces. The modular design fits any load-bearing wall and was installed effortlessly within the limited space of the reception area.

A healthy environment

A selection of indoor plants was carefully chosen to create a calm, natural appearance. This harmonious blend of greenery complements the hospital’s environment perfectly. The plant wall contributes to a healthier atmosphere—an undeniable asset in a healthcare setting. Its positive impact on well-being and ambiance is immediately noticeable.

Big impact in small spaces

The CompactLine proves that greening small spaces can deliver a significant visual and functional effect. With its smart design and nature-inclusive approach, this plant wall has a visibly positive impact, especially valuable in a hospital environment. Scientific studies show that greenery can aid recovery and reduce stress levels for patients and visitors alike.

This project, realized in collaboration with Hodel & Partner, showcases how greening is accessible to everyone, regardless of available space.
