Lifetime Irvine: Custom Artificial Living Wall

Geranium Street partnered with Lifetime Irvine to transform their main entrance with a custom-designed artificial living wall. This 163-foot by 23-foot installation delivers a year-round green entrance with far less upkeep than a live wall, using UV-resistant materials for a durable Southern California welcome.

Understanding the Problem

Lifetime Irvine’s vision was clear: a one-of-a-kind, lush green wall for their main entrance that made a powerful brand statement. However, achieving this with natural vegetation presented significant hurdles—the cost and complexity of installing an irrigation system, coupled with ongoing water usage and maintenance expenses, conflicted with operational efficiency and sustainability goals.

The Geranium Street Approach

Geranium Street proposed a fully custom-designed artificial living wall. We specified realistic foliage modules made from UV-stabilized polymers to slow fading under the strong California sun. The irrigation-free design removed the plumbing and water costs and cut maintenance labor.

Bringing It to Life

The project commenced with detailed site analysis and 3D rendering. Our team engineered a custom mounting system tailored to the specific dimensions and structural nuances of the entrance wall. The artificial foliage was meticulously hand-assembled based on the approved custom layout. Installation was completed as a turnkey operation with minimal disruption to daily operations.

Transformative Impact

The completed artificial living wall exceeded expectations, delivering a stunning, one-of-a-kind design that instantly elevated the property’s curb appeal. The irrigation-free, UV-resistant design removes the plumbing, watering, and plant care a live wall of this size would require.
