A broad range of perennial and tropical ferns make up the planting palette of the forest floor. Tropical trees, up to 25’ tall, were selected for their ability to thrive in the interior space, as well as for the interplay of their leaf form. Due to the limited natural light in the space, we introduced LED light fixtures, hung evenly above the atrium, and we worked with a commercial light fixture manufacturer to customize output and define the ideal wavelength spectrum for the plants’ required growing conditions.
