November Installation of the Month – ANS Global
We’re delighted to award ANS Global our November Installation of the Month. They installed 240m of square black guttering into their stunning living wall at the Microsoft Offices, in the Cambridge Science Park. This impressive biophilic feature brings an element of nature into Microsoft’s commercial office environment.
This natural wall is 11 metres high – 33 square metres in total – and required a scissor lift to install the wall modules, irrigation pipes and maintenance. ANS installed guttering behind their living walls to catch the water runoff, and they chose Edge specifically because our guttering is easy to install and ensures a good seal at the joins.
This project took the ANS team two weeks to install, and we are told that the project went very well – with the installation team playing a big role in ensuring the project ran smoothly from start to finish.
Incorporating biophilic design into workspaces is becoming more and more popular nowadays. Not only does greenery satisfy our innate desire to be surrounded by nature, but it also helps to absorb noise, removes carbon dioxide from the air, and helps improve happiness and overall productivity of the workforce.
In a recent blog ANS said: “In a modern building there is often a lack of colour, a lack of inspiration, and a lack of nature. But with plenty of unused wall space, there is huge opportunity to fill what is lacking in terms of natural connection”.
ANS were delighted with the service they received from us and said the Edge team were “lovely people, friendly and nice to deal with”. Thank you ANS!
So, big congratulations to ANS Global, we are always excited to supply innovative projects like this, and we look forward to seeing more of their work in the future.
