           Initially, the design team wanted to make
           use of terracotta planters. However, due
           to time constraints the associated costs
           would have been less than the minimum
           requirements for the Green Building
           Council. Recyclable planters in a matt
           finish were selected, complementing the
           space. They were also more cost-effective
           and carried a quicker turnaround, falling
           in line with sustainability requirements.
           For the open plan areas, Execuflora opted
           to use the client’s existing planters which
           they repainted to the colour specifications
           of the various areas. Shum says that this
           decision was part of their re-use and
           recycle initiative.                The atrium with green wall and cascading plants                  n
