Set within the building’s dramatic “canyon” corridors, this sculptural planter brings the landscape inward—echoing both the architecture and the surrounding grounds by James Corner Field Operations. Inspired by the converging rivers of San Jose and the tonal shifts of mountainsides, the design weaves a “river” of baby’s tears through crushed and tumbled black slate, creating contrast between exposed rock and luminous green understory.

Maidenhair and autumn ferns soften the stone with layered texture, while liriope adds seasonal purple blooms that mirror the exterior plantings. Broad-leaf farfugium anchors the composition, and olive and Shady Lady trees rise between the windows—giving the space verticality and the quiet feeling of a forest floor tucked inside the city.
