Another unique project by Skanska

A 15-meter green wall consisting of thousands of living plants was installed in the lobby of the Generation Park Y office building in Warsaw, developed by the Skanska office unit. It is the largest arrangement of this type in Poland. This unusual design, thanks to the glass facade of the building, can also be admired from the outside.

The Generation Park Y tower crowned Skanska's largest office project in Warsaw. It is the company's tallest office building in this part of Europe and at the same time the greenest and most sustainable skyscraper in the capital. The tower is applying for the prestigious WELL Core&Shell certificate, confirming its benefits for the health and well-being of employees, as well as for the LEED Platinum certificate and the Building without Barriers certificate.

The green wall in the Generation Park Y lobby is 22 meters long and 15 meters high, which can be compared to a five-story building. The entire arrangement consists of several dozen species and has over 6,000 plants. These are mainly philodendrons, ferns, monsteras, laceleafs, peace lilies, and aglaonemas. The selected plants have unique properties – both in terms of air purification, oxygen production, and the absorption of volatile organic compounds. The oxygen they produce daily would suffice for 150 people for 24 hours. The plants have been selected in such a way that they can develop freely inside the office building. The relationships between individual species were also taken into account. In such a selected group, it is easier for them to maintain elevated air humidity, thanks to which plants grow healthier, are less susceptible to diseases, more easily resist pest attacks and better withstand all inconveniences.
