PROBLEM:
For this popular restaurant's outdoor area, our clients wished for a design that screened out the streets below and added visual interest to their space. We had to consider other conditions as well, such as having planters that could be moveable and plants that could handle the exposed terrace conditions, but would not get much light after the awnings and umbrellas came up.
SOLUTION:After discussion with the chefs and our own interest in urban agriculture/farm-to-table restaurants, we created a plant list that comprised of several medicinal and edible plants which could also handle the environmental conditions of the site. Imagine having fresh produce plucked from around you and on your plate in a minute!
Hospitality dictated the layout, and we created screens with plants for evening fragrance and with visual interest for the day. Besides this, we installed drip irrigation systems and even a misting system that is clipped to the trees. The staff love the cool mist as much as the restaurant's patrons!
