Replay’s store on
Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona now hosts a vertical garden of just above 100m2. In the storefront location, the two storey wall is set in a dramatic and playful environment with waterfalls, sculptures and contrasting materials.

As a great place to study nature’s own
vertical gardens, the waterfalls were a natural starting point for the
plant design. Looking closer to the environment around a waterfall, growing conditions change with linear patterns of fissures and cracks in the underlying exposed rock, or the rapidly decreasing moisture already small steps away from the immediate vicinity of the falling water. In such a manner, like the erratic and geometric cracking of an eroding rock, groups and strings of plants were laid out in an organic pattern.

The generous surface allow for many kinds of plants. Larger groups of begonias, different ferns, small (but long) aroids like the common
Philodendron scandens or Scindapsus pictus, sets the background for more dramatic effects of cascading fronds of
Nephrolepis exaltata andPolypodium subauriculatum or he larger aroids like Philodendron giganteum and P. erubescens.
