Cafe Nike living wall detail

I recently came across these photos on Flickr but can’t find any information on what this place is. The captions on the photos seem to indicate that this is a courtyard for a place called Café Nike in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. From what I can tell from the photographs, it looks like it may be a cloth pocket style wall as opposed to units. It looks pretty lush and not brand new.

Hi there, this wall is done by our colleague from Mexico City, Verde 360. It was installed sometime last year at Nike. It is a hydroponic, soil-less system.
Check out their work or get in touch here:

Thanks Jacques, truly wonderful work!

For more on Verde360’s work, see my new post on more living walls that they’ve designed and constructed around Mexico City with images from the designers themselves.
