Richmond Centre had a dream of a spring of epic proportions this year.
Along with our design friends at Three Dimensional Services, we helped achieve their vision by creating a 15 foot tall traditional wishing tree to which mall patrons could attach their wishes folded in the shape of flowers. Richmond Centre desired an interactive display that would celebrate spring and surround their guests with brightly coloured flower beds, a bamboo forest, and a wooden bridge.
The featured Flowering Wishing Tree also serves another special purpose. For every wish that gets attached to the Flowering Wish Tree, Richmond Centre will donate $1 to the Children’s Wish Foundation—a very worthy cause that grants a favourite wish for children afflicted with a high risk, life-threatening illness.
Richmond Centre’s Blossom display is up until Saturday, April 23rd, so be sure to bring your wish to Richmond Centre and attach it to the Flowering Wishing Tree to make your wish come true and that of a special child in need. Visit their Customer Care Centre in the mall or visit their facebook page for more details and instructions for making an origami tulip.

YVR – International Departures: Spirit of the Sea
Post by admin on December 3rd, 2010 · No Comments
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

YVR Vancouver International Airport – Pacific Passage
Post by admin on December 3rd, 2010 · No Comments
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/

Teaming up once again with Sheffield Designs brought us to Edmonton for a major restaurant and lobby/front entrance renovation.
Our team transformed an outdated Santa Fe themed area into a spectacular Cree Nation inspired landmark that was complete with an award winning dining room and art gallery. Creating a dozen majestic 24’ tall evergreens with prairie indigenous shrubbery and forest floor plantings took our team of six over two weeks to install. We also had the challenge of designing and building a 10’ high by 20’ long birch veneer woven wall that the project designer had envisioned. Hand stained and split raw veneer was woven through silver birch poles to create a beautiful, organic backdrop to an impressive rock feature as you first enter the space. The remarkable décor also includes eight-foot hoodoos, and enormous dream catcher, a 12 foot long fireplace, and a 17 foot long waterfall. http://www.sawridgeedmonton.com/
