In coordination with Sharp and Diamond Landscape Architects and Panther Management, Greenscape designed and built 19 custom Vine Maple trees that were 18’ tall with a basegarden treatment of westcoast ferns in large designer concrete planters for the International Departures wing. As well, we installed 30 salal planters to line the upper walkway that overlooked the stunning replica streambed environment. Iconic elements like a curving stream, detailed rock work, lush foliage, an urban fountain, a large aquarium and sculptures by the carver Dempsey Bob all work together to define the space and utilize the calming effects of nature to create a soothing environment for International travelers. http://www.yvr.ca/en/Default.aspx

Storyeum
Post by admin on December 3rd, 2010 · Comments Off
Bigger than six NHL ice rinks and one of the biggest tourist attractions built since EXPO 86, Storyeum, which is located in Gastown, was a massive undertaking for Greenscape. On the Ancient Trails set, we used an impressive mix of natural tree trunks and bark, combined with artificial foliage to create the feel of an old growth West Coast rainforest. The vision was to create an experiential environment that immersed audiences into a forest feel as they passed through 8 different sets highlighting an interactive theatrical recreation of British Columbia’s history.

YVR Vancouver International Airport – Pacific Passage
Post by admin on December 3rd, 2010 · Comments Off
The stylized West Coast environment of the Pacific Passage at the Vancouver Airport was designed by Aldrich Pears and incorporated a natural beach setting, gentle waves and rugged habitat tree snags to greet visitors from the United States. This natural landscape provides a fantastic frame for the impressive Hetux Thunderbird sculpture by Connie Watts. http://www.yvr.ca/

Private Residence
Post by admin on December 2nd, 2010 · Comments Off
One of our design clients approached us about her residential client who was not wanting the maintenance and upkeep that her live plants required. We created a clean and striking design using some of her existing planters in combination with others custom built by our team. As the residence was a penthouse with a wrap-around patio, we used tall grasses for privacy in one area as well as some lower grasses in another area to not compromise the view. Our line of polyblend grasses add great natural movement, can last out doors up to 10 years and look ultra realistic.

Greenscape @ IDS West
Post by Christine on November 22nd, 2010 · 5 Comments
IDSWest 2010 was amazing as always.
In addition to exhibiting, our team was selected to take on the Design Challenge and it was a blast! We had no idea of what it was going to be, but were super thrilled to participate. A week later, we received a box of 1500 wine corks in the mail. Wow. What to do?
The concept we came up with was simple, Stop and Smell the Roses. It has been a hard year for everyone so we really wanted to make a statement about what is important during these times and what you can always rely on. For us, it was friends and family. Getting together with loved ones; sharing good food, good wine and good laughs.
As a team, we all pulled together and spent hours covering our beautiful mannequin Clarisse in rose petals (1633 to be exact), and making countless grape clusters and flowers out of recelycled and sheet cork.
Corinne and I had a great time (all 13 hours one day) working in our booth, reconnecting with clients and friends, and getting the opportunity to meet new people. The speakers where great, the atmosphere was inspiring and the feedback was beyond motivating. Needless to say, we left feeling excited and energized…and exhausted 
We would like to thank everyone that worked so hard on this with us and a special ‘thank you’ to our friends at Industrial Revolution for providing our booth with the beautiful furniture that you can find at their South Granville location.
-Christine
