The Shelter is a study in restraint. White brick, polished concrete and rails of monochrome fashion give the space its quiet, deliberate mood, and into that stillness we set living trees. Slender ficus rise from black steel plinths and reach toward the skylights, their canopies breaking the hard lines of the warehouse with something soft and alive.
