Improving the guests view

The primary aim of this external living wall is to screen the buildings plant room from guests who are paying for luxury penthouses that overlook the atrium.  However, this natural living wall isn’t just a screen but a beautiful and valuable part of the aesthetic that forms part of the guests experience at the hotel.
