The Oulu Bar & EcoLounge in Williamsburg is Brooklyn’s first living wall installation. In addition to vastly improving the looks of the bar (see before picture), the vertical greenery installment makes a very loud environmental statement to all passersby. We can all help by incorporating environmental designs into our everyday life, from homes to businesses. In addition to the outdoors design, the wood paneling on the interior walls carries the natural feel of the living wall inside the lounge.  Oulu has all the green features one would expect of a project going for LEED certification, including the following: sheetrock made of post-industrial recycled material, biodegradable ceramic tiles, water-based grout sealers, natural Mica panels, FSC-certified woods, low-VOC paints with milk-based pigment, and a garage door for natural ventilation and light.
