National Australia Bank, NAB, Australia-wide Artificial Greenery Rollout

National Australia Bank, NAB, Australia-wide Artificial Greenery Rollout

National Australia Bank (NAB) had previously trialled a number of other companies throughout the years before selecting Evergreen Walls for their large-scale rollout of artificial greenery. The other companies were limited to supply only, without the capability to project manage, install, or provide design and technical support.

Faced with close to 2,000 sites, some in very remote areas throughout Australia, NAB found Evergreen Walls to be the perfect choice. Our team managed the design, supply, and installation in-house, even servicing multiple sites simultaneously, including client-facing branches and airport locations.

Pothos Variegated Hanging Bush, Syngonium Garland, Syngonium Hanging Bush Green, Grape Leaf Vine, Snake Plant Mother-In-Law's Tongue,

Turning a 'how' into a 'WOW!'

Our Solution

Evergreen Walls approached the project with a comprehensive plan that included the supply and installation of tambour unit planter boxes for NAB’s office spaces, utilising snake plants and mulch.

The highlight was working alongside Lendlease on NAB's new, high-profile location in Sydney’s Martin Place. Evergreen Walls deployed a dedicated Project Director, Project Technical Specialists, Graphic Designers, and a team of 15 certified installers to execute a fresh and classy planting scheme unique to NAB. Our diverse range of plants, including Pothos Variegated hanging bush, Syngonium garland, and Grape Leaf hanging bush, allowed us to create a lush and maintenance-free environment that met the bank's aesthetic and practical needs.

One of the main challenges was installing products upon overhead lighting fixtures, which required the use of access equipment. Our collaboration with various trades also necessitated meticulous project management to ensure that our installers worked efficiently within the allocated time frames. Our extensive experience in commercial installations helped overcome these challenges seamlessly, turning potential issues into minor hurdles.

Scope of Works
- Ceiling planter using hanging bushes
- Mesh Grid vertical garden
- Planter boxes
- Tambour planters for cabinet designs

Project Impact

Our artificially green installations have significantly improved the atmosphere in NAB's locations, creating a professional yet welcoming environment for clients and employees alike. The transparency of the branch interiors, with stretching glass windows visible to street commuters, emphasises the importance of visual appeal. The quality and lifelike appearance of our artificial plants uphold an element of class and sophistication, ensuring the spaces remain modern and charming without the upkeep associated with real plants.

Investing in aesthetic enhancements for storefronts and client-facing commercial spaces is invaluable in enhancing customer experience, aiding in customer uptake and retention. Moving forward, NAB plans to continue collaborating with Evergreen Walls to further refine and expand its green installations, ensuring consistent quality and immersive environments across all branches.

By "turning a how into a WOW," Evergreen Walls successfully addressed NAB’s needs, integrating artificial greenery solutions that enhanced both visual appeal and functionality across their extensive network of branches.
