From the street below, the construction has a clear resemblance to the surrounding landscape of buildings protruding from the hillside. The living wall is created using a mixture of native plants including vines plants and succulents. The plant species were carefully considered so that only plants that can negate the local climate and do not require extra irrigation or maintenance were chosen.
Researched and developed by our in-house design team, tested by independent facilities, and fabricated according to our own exacting standards. As we look beyond the sense of restriction and isolation that has plagued the world during 2020 and 2021, we can see fireplace design trends rebel against these feelings of melancholy.

By joining Building Complex Curvature from Flat Sheets, participants will learn what curvature is and how it applies to materials, while laser cutting metal and using a rivet gun. Gardenhouse almost appears like crystals growing at different angles from the hillside (in this case from above the living wall). The entrance of Gardenhouse creates a cave-like aesthetic, a dim passage with led lights leading the way and the sound of water from the communal garden that leads residents to their homes. Natural light floods down through the communal garden resulting in “a light at the end of the tunnel” feature.
