Product description

VertiScape™ Bioreceptive Facades is a cutting-edge green solution that revolutionizes building exteriors by supporting natural moss growth. The system utilizes a mineral-rich, textured concrete surface to create an ideal environment for moss to anchor and flourish. A special gel is applied to kickstart moss development, leading to a self-sustaining green facade that enhances urban air quality, reduces building temperatures, and manages stormwater runoff.

This innovative solution is crafted from recycled materials and low-carbon concrete, making it a sustainable alternative to traditional green wall systems. VertiScape™ is versatile, suitable for retrofitting existing structures or integrating into new construction projects. Its modular panel design and moss-plaster variant offer architects and developers flexibility in implementation, ensuring a seamless blend of ecological function and aesthetic appeal.

By capturing CO2, nitrogen oxides, and fine dust particles, VertiScape™ contributes to a healthier urban environment while providing tangible environmental benefits. This eco-friendly solution is a testament to sustainable architecture practices, promoting a greener future for urban landscapes.

About the Company

Gorespyre, operating under the brand name Respyre, is a Dutch cleantech company founded in 2020 as a spin-off from TU Delft. The company specializes in nature-inclusive infrastructure through the use of bioreceptive concrete that enables moss to grow directly on building surfaces. Its flagship solution, VertiScape™, integrates sustainable concrete panels or coatings with moss-enhancing gel to form living facades that require little to no maintenance once established. Moss naturally sequesters CO₂ and NOₓ, filters particulate matter, cools surrounding environments, and absorbs rainwater. Respyre’s technology contributes to biodiversity, reduces urban heat islands, and enhances air quality in dense cities. Their panels are made from up to 85% recycled materials and become carbon-negative within one year. With a strong emphasis on circularity, resilience, and climate adaptation, Respyre’s mission is to bring nature back into cities in a scalable, beautiful, and measurable way.
