After the removal of the vertical garden at the “Tabacalera” building in Tarragona, previously the largest in Europe until 2020, the biggest vertical garden in Spain can now be found in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Covering nearly 1,500 m2 of natural space, this garden was crafted by SingularGreen. Vitoria-Gasteiz is renowned globally for its biodiversity and the effective incorporation of green areas within the cityscape. As part of our project to introduce an inner green zone, we envisioned this green wall to bring the ecosystems of Álava to the city center. This sustainable vertical garden initiative not only supports biodiversity but also reduces pollution while offering thermal and acoustic insulation benefits.
The largest outdoor vertical garden in Spain, located in Vitoria-Gasteiz and designed by SingularGreen, has several notable features:
Size: The vertical garden covers nearly 1,500 square meters, making it the largest of its kind in Spain.
Sustainability: The garden is designed to be sustainable, with a focus on promoting biodiversity, reducing pollution, and providing thermal and acoustic insulation.
Integration with urban environment: The garden was designed as part of a larger project to integrate green spaces into the city’s urban fabric, bringing the ecosystems of Álava into the city center.
Plant selection: The plants selected for the garden are native to the area, creating a sense of place and reinforcing the local biodiversity.
Aesthetics: The vertical garden serves as an attractive focal point in the city, bringing a natural element to the built environment and enhancing the overall aesthetic of the area.
The outdoor vertical garden in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the largest of its kind in Spain, has a total surface area of 1,492 square meters, with 1,000 square meters being a hydroponic f+p vertical garden and 492 square meters covered by climbing plants on the windows. Over 33,000 plants of various native varieties from the Álava and Basque Country regions were used for its plantation.
The result
The final result was worth the hard work. The bespoke system was installed perfectly with no hitches. The living wall looks impressive already, but over time will fill out and flourish.
