2013 Greenroofs & Walls of the World™ Calendar


January
features a Private Kona Coast Line Residence in Hawaii, USA. Situated on a private oceanfront residence on the Kailua Kona coast, the property boasts an 18' long x 8' high Green Living Technologies International (GLTi) living wall. The beautiful project is another first by 1st Look Exteriors and GLTi since this was the first living wall to be installed on the Big Island of Hawaii. The unique home was built and carved into an ancient lava flow from 1801, creating an exotic combination of textures within the pristine setting. Plants include mixed use tropical and native Hawaiian species such as Bromeliads, ferns, succulents, Crotons, and Liriope.

 

The Greenroofs & Walls™ of the World Calendar series combines two of our most popular destinations on Greenroofs.com: The Greenroof & Greenwall Projects Database and Upcoming Events.
