The defining feature of this building is the incredible, full-height ‘living’ atrium that forms a pedestrian axis at ground level, and is criss-crossed by sky bridges above.
In total, over 2,000 individual plants were required, 90 percent of which were propagated and grown at GreenAir’s greenhouse nursery in Kumeu. This process has involved a huge amount of planning and took eight months to complete, to ensure that all the plants are well-established.
The engineered balustading system that GreenAir developed works in with the standard glass balustrading to produce sections of foliage that cascade and drape down into the atrium below. Fully rated and engineered, this is a product that can be used across future developments where this solution is required.
