The facade of the Food Innovation House in Vejle is a creative interplay between golden woodwork and green plants. The facade indicates that the inside of the imposing 3,000 m2 building is pervaded by a creative spirit. This is the Danish House of Food for innovation and development of future foodstuffs, which will benefit Danish food production and exports now and in the future.
The large plant wall, or vertical garden, required a lot of cutting and trimming, and specially manufactured cassettes to live up to the ideas that came out of the architect’s drawing board. The result was an amazing vertical plant wall with an organic appearance, which constantly changes as the colours of the plants change. The plants chosen here are different kinds of sedums, grasses and perennials, which vary in height, form and colour. The result is a very natural and beautiful plant wall which breaks with the building’s architectural straight lines.
