New construction Plantorama, Tilst (Denmark) 2021

Plantorama, Denmark's largest garden center, recently opened two new locations in Tilst and Hørsholm in March 2021. These state-of-the-art, sustainable, and innovative garden centers were designed by Breddels Architecten in collaboration with the Danish office Rambøll. The Tilst location is the largest garden center, covering approximately 12,000 m², and the Hørsholm location covers approximately 9,000 m². Both garden centers have a unique and elegant appearance, featuring copper-colored cladding at the entrance and wooden panels at the front of the building. The centers are also environmentally conscious, with the latest technical installations, such as LED lighting, solar panels, and rain gutters to collect and use rainwater for irrigation. The centers offer a range of products for home, garden, and animals, as well as facilities such as a warehouse, a fairytale playground, and a restaurant. This article will explore the features and design of the new Plantorama garden centers in Tilst and Hørsholm.

Design and Features

The Plantorama garden centers in Tilst and Hørsholm have a unique and elegant appearance. The combination of copper-colored cladding and wooden panels at the front of the building gives the centers a modern and natural look. The centers are also designed to be environmentally conscious, with features such as LED lighting, solar panels, and rain gutters to collect and use rainwater for irrigation.

The centers have a similar layout and design, with a central building housing the entrance to the garden center. The building has a first floor and a flat roof. Customers can visit the restaurant, 'Resorama', on the first floor via an escalator, which receives natural light from the integrated light strips in the roof. The light through the asymmetrical roof, the escalator with the light strips above it, the cozy restaurant, the open balconies above the sales area, and a waterfall all combine to create a visually stunning experience for visitors.

In addition to the central building, the centers also have a large warehouse, a fairytale playground called 'Spirestrup' for children, and 'open air' plastic arch greenhouses as protected and pleasant outdoor sales. The centers also offer a huge range of products for home, garden, and animals, making them a one-stop-shop for all gardening and pet needs.

Sustainability

Plantorama is committed to sustainability, and this is evident in the design and features of the new garden centers in Tilst and Hørsholm. The centers have the latest technical installations, such as LED lighting, which reduces energy consumption and lowers the environmental impact. The centers also have 620 solar panels that generate 203,725 kWh of energy, reducing their dependence on non-renewable sources of energy.

Rainwater is collected in the underground water basins and is used for irrigating the plants. This reduces water consumption and ensures that the plants are nourished without putting a strain on the local water supply. The centers also use sustainable materials in their construction, such as wooden panels and copper-colored cladding.

The commitment to sustainability is not only evident in the design and features of the centers but also in the products they offer. The centers have a range of organic and eco-friendly products for home, garden, and animals. This includes organic seeds, compost, and natural pest control products. The centers also offer a range of environmentally friendly pet products, such as biodegradable poop bags and natural dog food.
