Respyre develops moss-friendly concrete that transforms building walls into low-maintenance, living green surfaces that enhance urban aesthetics, improve air quality, and provide natural cooling.

Project information
Imagine if buildings could grow plants just like trees do. That’s what Respyre does! We’ve created a special kind of concrete that helps moss grow on walls. Moss is a soft, green plant that doesn’t need much water or care, but it’s super helpful for the environment.
When moss grows on buildings, it makes cities look more beautiful and helps clean the air we breathe. It even keeps buildings cooler on hot days, kind of like giving them a natural shade. Our moss concrete can be used on new buildings or added to old ones, turning boring gray walls into living, green spaces.
Respyre’s goal is to make cities healthier and greener by covering walls with moss. We work with builders, designers, and city leaders to help make this happen. With Respyre, every building can be a little piece of nature, helping the planet one wall at a time!
