Artist Statement

This project involved replacing an existing living wall system with our own, reimagining the space with greater depth, color, and texture. A diverse plant palette was selected to respond to varied exposures around the building, including areas of full sun and localized heat from nearby fixtures. Flowing curves and layered planting create a vibrant, dynamic backdrop for the rooftop bar and dining area—softening the architecture while enhancing the guest experience with a sense of warmth and escape.
