Plantwall from Green Fortune is a new way of integrating greenery in public spaces. This vertical application of greenery provides a powerful impact on the envirnonment where it is built. It is almost like being outside inside. Plantwall can be varied both in size and shape. Depending on the size of the wall and the impact you want to create the choice of plants can be adjusted. It is possible to create a sophisticated wall that keeps its look over time, as well as a wild, heavily growing wall. Plantwall makes it possible to have lots of greenery without losing floor space. Besides the impression of beauty, plants also provides oxygen and humidity to improve the air quality. Some plants even have air cleaning properties. The integrated drip irrigation system makes the watering very smooth. Unlikely of what you may think, the wall does not spread very much moist thanks to the textile materials used. This makes it possible to use plantwall in places you may think are too sensitive for a project like this. Via the drip irrigation system, also fertilizer is distributed inside the four-layer textile of the wall. This process is programmed by us and automatically controlled. Each new plantwall project can be tailor made to suit different demands. We also offer a one year guarantee and service agreement for each plantwall. You are welcome with your requests.

Located on YuYuan Road in Shanghai’s Jing’An neighborhood, CentralPod offers a unique and contemporary space for creative and commercial use. Repurposing two existing buildings, the entire construction embodies the values of sustainability and energy efficiency through its bold design. With over 3200m2 of space distributed across 52 office units, and 800m2 of outdoor roof spaces, CentralPod offers dynamic and intuitive spaces that encourage the flow of both energy and collaboration. A central atrium, created by connecting the two buildings, provides natural light and ventilation throughout the building, with the rooftop garden and café playfully blurring the boundaries between the workplace and the outdoors. CentralPod uses mostly locally obtained materials, which have been recycled or re-purposed in innovative ways. From the floorboards attained from old Shanghai lane houses, the bathroom partitions made up of leftover scraps set in metal frames, to the specifically designed ZigZag© furniture used in the communal spaces, reuse and refurbishment define the construction and reflect a_a&D’s unifying philosophy. Crowning the building is a series of rooftop terraces, providing ideal event spaces with a communal herb and vegetable garden, and panoramic city views of Shanghai.

Colt installed a smoke control system with fire / smoke ventilation that met the regulatory requirements, as well as the demanding acoustic requirements set down in the brief The Copenhagen Opera House (in Danish usually called Operaen) is the national opera house of Denmark, and among the most modern opera houses in the world. It is also one of the most expensive opera houses ever built with construction costs well over 500 million U.S. dollars. The Opera House is located on the island of Holmen in central Copenhagen and has six directly connected stages within. Colt designed and provided a smoke control system in this extraordinary building, consisting of Meteor MLS natural flap ventilators, providing a huge 55 dB acoustic attenuation prohibiting external noise from penetrating the building and affecting stage performances.

This high density data center utilizes 8,000 square feet raised-floor space on the first floor and accommodates up to 12 server-filled containers on the roof. The team's concept included "hot water cooling" to support the requirement for year-round use of fresh air cooling (free cooling), despite the temperatures in Phoenix. The team was among 20 entrants in an open RFP, intended to prompt innovation in data center design using modular data centers, which are typically built in a factory and assembled on-site, resulting in a faster and cheaper construction process.The ebay project calls for a combination of approaches to cooling and reliability, using both air cooling and liquid cooling in different parts of the facility. The Grand Opening of the facility was held in December 2011.
