Form

The landscape exhibition space consisting of a stunning cypress pine pergola and green roof the garden surrounding by lush shade tolerant plants provided a beautiful space to sit in and enjoy the ambience of being surrounded by greenery. The corten steel planters added a new dimension to the garden and demonstrated different ways in which to use these in the garden both inside the walking spaces along with a decorative base to the pergola posts. The seating and water fetaure the final addiitons to this tranquil space.

About the project

A well designed and built landscape display that highlighted the many ways in which shade can be used well in the landscape. Mature trees surrounding the garden added a feature that helped soften the large pergola. Hanging plants from the green roof softened the landscape above and the dense multi layered plantings of ferns and sub-tropical plantings added in a charm that allowed for relaxation and a place to escape the busy outside spaces. The green walls highlighting the many ways vertical plantings can help screen undesirable views along with providing more visual appeal.

This exhibiton space allowed members of the public and industry to walk through and see what soltuions could be used in the greening our built environment"
