The story behind this design and installation:
The client was looking for two things when it came to his new plantscape. Bright colors that invite people into the restaurant and to
enjoy the patio. As well as having plants that complimented the aesthetic and Asian cuisine of the restaurant. We selected sleek black
glazed ceramic containers for the larger plants to stay in line with the aesthetic of the restaurant. The client really wanted to have hanging
troughs off the railing. Thanks to zip tie magic we were able to make that happen since the rails were quite thin. For the large plant, we
selected an Espalier Jasmine star and two Bonsai Junipers. For the color, we chose a mix of New Guinea impatients, sweet potato vine,
and coleus. The restaurant itself is located in an urban area that is surrounded by a lot of grey concrete and buildings so bringing in life
and color to the space was our main goal.
