Danny Shafrir, Creative Designer at gpad, comments: “Through creative design and clear understanding of the market, we’ve created a quality, modern office environment influenced by the dynamic space itself. While the atrium provides prospective tenants with an ideal environment to meet and greet their own customers, we saw the opportunity to enhance the space further by integrating a living wall. “We are always keen to incorporate gardens or roof terraces into our projects and One Cathedral Square is no exception – it’s just sometimes we have to bring the outside in! The living wall is a statement piece, but it is also very calming and creates a beautiful, natural backdrop to grab a book to read over lunch and get some relief away from a computer screen.” Issue 34 2018 Landscape & Urban Design 49
