When it comes to creating a stunning rooftop vibe, greenery is an absolute must.
But keeping live plants thriving in an outdoor space—especially one exposed to wind, sun, and fluctuating temperatures—can be a real headache.
That’s exactly the challenge The Albion Rooftop faced. To keep their space looking lush and inviting without the hassle of ongoing plant maintenance, they opted for commercial artificial plants, and the transformation was nothing short of spectacular.
In a Nutshell
- Client: The Albion Rooftop – a popular rooftop bar and restaurant.
- Products Used: Vista Green Wall
- Results: A low-maintenance, evergreen aesthetic that enhances the rooftop’s inviting atmosphere.
Before Our Collaboration
The Problem: A Rooftop in Need of a Refresh
The Albion Rooftop is a go-to spot for Melburnians looking to soak up the sun with a cocktail in hand.
It’s well-known for its lively atmosphere, stylish design, and premium hospitality.
But even the best venues need a refresh now and then, don’t they?
The Albion team wanted to update their rooftop space to make it even more inviting, especially during the warmer months when rooftop bars are at their peak popularity.
While the venue had a great foundation, some areas felt a bit bare—particularly the banisters, entrance, and certain seating areas.
They envisioned a greener, more vibrant space but didn’t want to deal with the challenges that come with live plants.
Watering, trimming, and replacing dead plants wasn’t feasible, and the last thing they wanted was to worry about wilting leaves ruining the aesthetic.
On top of that, given the rooftop’s exposure to Melbourne’s unpredictable weather, live plants wouldn’t have stood a chance.
So, the team needed a solution that could handle sun, wind, and rain without constant upkeep. That’s where we came in!
We saw this as a fantastic project—not just because we love The Albion ourselves, but because artificial greenery was the perfect fit for the space.
The venue’s modern yet relaxed aesthetic worked beautifully with the rich green hues of commercial artificial plants.
Plus, we knew we could deliver a seamless transformation without any of the hassles that come with live plants.
