The future
of living architecture
is here
Discover our next generation living wall system - and how it can transform your space.
Book a meetingMeet our pioneering,
bryophyte based living wall technology.
Welcome to the wonderful world of moss. We've taken one of nature's oldest plants and engineered a concrete surface it thrives on - bringing you a living wall that looks exceptional, lasts longer, and costs less to run than traditional green walls.
Nature at its best.
Measured surface cooling
Measured trial water demand
Latest moisture optimisation
Air quality potential
Independent research has demonstrated pollutant uptake and binding mechanisms in moss species used within our platform. Installed-system performance is now being validated.
Quiet, by nature
Moss naturally dampens sound, improving acoustics without hard surfaces or panels.
Good for how a space feels
Living green surfaces help create environments that feel calmer, healthier, and more balanced.
A new biophilic design toolset
Grown on our proprietary Terranite™ material technology, protected through Alive Labs' granted and pending patent portfolio — a versatile canvas that lets you shape, sculpt, and design with living moss.
Maintenance at a minimum.
Significantly reduced ongoing care
No soil, pruning, or pest control required.
Water efficiency in every detail
Moss thrives naturally on low moisture, and our closed system locks it in so nothing's wasted.
Fire-safe by design
Designed with fire performance as a core consideration, with formal system certification progressing as part of the current accreditation programme.
Smart monitoring
Sensor-based monitoring provides ongoing insight into system conditions and performance.

Approximately 65% lower whole-life cost over 30 years.
Compared with a conventional living wall that uses vascular plants, a moss wall costs far less over its lifetime.
Our estimate is based on a 100 m² installation over 30 years. Real-world savings depend on how and where it's installed.
Competitor pricing reflects market averages and may vary by retailer.
