PlantBox by Bioscape | Modular living walls
The living wallthat waters itself.
A modular, self-watering system for walls that have to look as good in year two as on handover day. Supplied and installed across the UAE by Bioscape.
Featured project
Dubai Opera District, Plot B4
A curved podium wall in Downtown Dubai, planted end to end and open to the public realm. Species are blocked into panels, so the elevation keeps its pattern as it grows in and any single panel can be replanted on its own.

Why PlantBox
Most living walls don't fail at installation. They fail six months later, when watering becomes somebody else's job. PlantBox is built around that problem.
Waters itself
A reservoir in each trough feeds the roots through capillary felt, so the wall never depends on daily attention.
Tells you when
A level indicator on every unit shows when to top up. Maintenance becomes a schedule, not a rescue.
Inside and out
One system covers a lobby and an external elevation, so a scheme needs one supplier and one maintenance regime.
- 1.8LWater reservoir built into every trough
- 60×20cmOne module face, 15 cm deep, repeated to any length
- 0Tools needed. The troughs click and stack
- 100 percent%Recycled material in every trough
Drag to compare. The same stack, empty and fully planted.
Inside the module
Simple on the wall. Clever inside.
Integrated reservoir
Each trough holds 1.8 litres, with an overflow that passes water evenly down the run.
Capillary felt shelf
Draws water up to the root zone and keeps it evenly moist, top to bottom.
Level indicator
Shows at a glance when a trough needs topping up. No guesswork for the facilities team.
Click and stack
Troughs lock together without tools and take standard 1 litre plants straight from the pot.
The system
Start with a module. Scale to the elevation.

- Layout
- Stacked to the height you need, repeated along the run
Every wall is laid out to its elevation, from a compact feature panel to a full-height stack or a long run across a facade.
Public realm
Forecourts and approaches, read from a distance and up close.
Hospitality and F&B
Screening that turns an outdoor cover into a room.
Lobbies and workplace
Reception and breakout walls that people see every day.
Residential
Homes, courtyards and amenity decks.

Good to know
Questions from project teams
Something we haven't covered? Ask us directly.
Ask on WhatsAppHow is the wall maintained after handover?
The reservoir does the watering, so maintenance is a scheduled top-up rather than a daily task. Each trough holds 1.8 litres and carries a level indicator, so a facilities team can see the state of a run at a glance. We can also quote for planned maintenance.
Can it go on an external elevation in a UAE summer?
Yes, and it already does. The Plot B4 wall in Downtown Dubai is fully external and publicly accessible. What matters most is the planting schedule and the orientation of the wall, which we work through with you rather than assume.
How large can a single installation get?
There is no fixed ceiling. A large elevation is the same trough repeated. In practice the size is governed by the fixing substrate and access for maintenance, both of which we survey before quoting.
What do you need from us to quote?
Elevations or a dimensioned sketch, the substrate, whether the wall is internal or external, and the date you need it planted by. If you already have a planting intent we will work to it. If not, we will propose one.
Do you supply the plants as well?
Yes. Bioscape supplies and installs the planting as well as the system, and can advise on species for the light levels and orientation you are working with.
Let's plantyour wall.
Send us the elevation and a date. We'll send back a layout, a planting plan and a budget.
