Vertical Green at Paradise Park Children's Centre, London N7 Architect: DSDHA Consulting Engineers: Price and Myers Client: Islington Green Space The Children’s Centre at Paradise Park is the first full-scale realisation of the green wall system developed by landscape designer Marie Clarke and structural engineer Alan Conisbee. In collaboration with DSDHA, the system was customised for three façades, to integrate the building with its landscape. 7000 small plants were installed from a scissor-lift platform and allowed to develop in-situ. In a move away from the uniformity of climbers, the green wall panels at Paradise Park support an extensive plant palette, chosen to provide a succession of highlights throughout the year. The green wall system is the subject of a patent application (GB 2 412 558).
