Greenery can be beautiful!

For buildings both old and modern, residential and commercial, as well as for warehouses, parking garages, and so forth.

Wall Greening vs. Architecture?

Speaking of aesthetics is ever a bit tricky, because beauty is indeed "in the eye of the beholder." Naturally, what pleases one may not please another. Wall greening can be structured and discreet or wild and bold (or anything in between) but a certain degree of maintenance and care is always essential. Otherwise damage to your building is not unlikely, especially with vigorous climbers.
