Green Architecture Projects – Moss as a Key Component:
How Moss is Effectively Used on Facades in Sustainable Construction Projects
Moss is a wonderful example of how plants can be integrated into sustainable, green architecture projects. In recent years, moss on facades and walls has gained popularity in many green architecture projects. It is an ecologically sustainable and aesthetically pleasing solution to improve the microclimate and increase energy efficiency. In this blog post, we will delve deeper into how green architecture projects are implemented with real moss as the main component.
Moss is a plant species that grows without roots. It can grow on moist surfaces such as rocks and soil and is often used in landscaping. Due to its adaptability, moss is an excellent option for greening walls and facades. There are various types of moss that can be used in green architecture projects.
Moss is a sustainable material that produces no emissions during production. It requires no water, soil, or fertilizer, making it an ecologically sustainable option. It can also improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and regulating humidity. Furthermore, it acts as a sound absorber and reduces noise emissions.
In green architecture projects, moss is used in the form of wall coverings and green facades. A green facade consists of a frame or mounting system to which the moss is attached. The plant does not need to be planted and can be directly attached to the facade. This reduces space requirements and minimizes impact on the soil. The moss can also be used as part of insulation, thereby increasing the building’s energy efficiency.
Another way to integrate moss into green architecture projects is to place it indoors. Indoors, it can be used as a decorative element and to improve air quality.
The maintenance of moss on facades and walls is minimal. It does not need to be watered or cleaned.
In summary, moss is a great way to design green architecture projects. It is a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing option to improve the microclimate and increase energy efficiency. As it is maintenance-free, it is an excellent option for building facades and walls.

The Moos-Moos GREENOVATION FACADES GREENING PANEL retains 100 % of its natural properties. It absorbs up to 8 liters of humidity per square meter and releases it again, creating rainwater retention. At the same time, the ambient temperature is cooled by releasing the stored water and stored air pollution is rained off. Our professional installation team installs the panels seamlessly in a row on a rear-ventilated wooden substructure. A flexible honeycomb grid then additionally protects the entire surface from bird, storm and hail damage. This honeycomb grid is no longer visible from a distance of 2 meters from the façade. This creates the visual effect of a natural moss wall Facade greening without any care or maintenance work

MOOSMOOS
Since 1998, we have been leaders in dry floristry and have specialized in indoor and outdoor greening. Originally, our mosses were used in arrangements, bundles, and as Christmas decorations, but challenges quickly arose: The mosses dried out, lost their color, and disintegrated. To solve these problems, we began experimenting with preservation and dyeing and developed a unique Pressure Preservation Process Plus. This clearly distinguishes our moss walls, moss pictures, and moss carpets from the products of our competitors. Our first smaller moss pictures were created with a simple glue gun and a lot of creativity. Soon, small pictures became larger works of art, and we recognized the potential of moss as a versatile design element.
Why not cover entire moss walls, furniture, or panels with moss? Moss surfaces are not only visually appealing but also offer additional benefits for the indoor climate. Thus, a distinct area of interior design gradually emerged, and the MOOSMOOS Manufactory was born. Since 2017, we have grown continuously and now employ around 70 people in production, administration, and sales. With our locations in Germany and Spain, we serve customers worldwide and support interior architects, designers, indoor landscapers, and exhibition stand builders. Our products, such as preserved moss walls, maintenance-free moss walls, and moss carpets, create a unique feel-good atmosphere in modern Biophilic Design. Naturalness and sustainability are at the heart of our work. Experience the fascination of moss and transform your spaces into green oases with our innovative moss products!
