- Basis
- Install, maintain, demount
01 — The brief
Short run, full effect.
Temporary does not mean provisional. On a Mayfair frontage the installation is judged against permanent planting, so it has to arrive finished and stay that way for its whole run.
The frame was designed for repeat use and to fix without permanent alteration to the building, and the planting was grown on so it could be recovered after demount.
What we delivered
- —Demountable frame fixed without permanent alteration
- —Pre-grown planting for immediate full cover
- —Maintenance across the installation period
- —Clean demount with planting and frame recovered
02 — Challenge, solution, result
How it was resolved.
The approach
A demountable frame with non-invasive fixings, pre-grown planting for instant cover, and a maintenance visit schedule through the run.
The outcome
A frontage that read as established planting for the whole period, taken down cleanly with the frame and plants recovered for reuse.
