“The Shelter is a curated lifestyle destination designed to explore, inspire and share.”
GreenAir were tasked with adding feature planting to compliment the “relaxed artistic experience for the discerning shopper”.
“It is an experience unbound by convention, offering exceptional and discerning objects that transcend time, fashion, places and life stages.”
By integrating greenery into this curated space, GreenAir enhances the aesthetic and experiential value for visitors. The carefully selected plants not only complement the minimalist design but also foster a sense of tranquillity and connection to nature, elevating the overall shopping experience to one of serenity and sophistication.
Three Large Ficus Benjamina, housed in strong and industrially inspired steel planters, create a foundation and linear aesthetic through the spine of the gallery-esque retail space.
Over time, these trees have been grown and shaped to explore a more natural aesthetic, taking cues from biomicry and their individual locations within the building.
Light levels reach each plant differently, and rather than working to create uniformity and “standard” foliage grooming practice, our skilled horticulturalists have been afforded the freedom to play and work with the natural growth, all the while maintaining healthy foliage and root systems for the established planting.
This thoughtful approach allows each plant to thrive in its unique environment, adding depth and character to the space. The result is a dynamic, living installation that evolves over time, enhancing The Shelter’s serene atmosphere and providing a refreshing connection between nature and contemporary design.
