These greenwalls at SIXTY SoHo are not to be missed…

We just wrapped up the install of these drop-dead gorgeous living walls at the stylish SIXTY Soho located at 60 Thompson in NYC. Brimming with lush, live tropical plants, these green walls utilize a sleek GSky Versa irrigated system to blend seamlessly with the room’s chic interiors. The low profile allows the plants to steal the scene, and weekly maintenance ensures that this wall will thrive and continue to impress guests for years to come.

Living walls can be tricky- With ten different proven systems for virtually any interior or exterior application, Blondie’s can help select, install and maintain a green wall system that will fit perfectly with your requirements. Call to talk with our team today.

Upscale Design uses a mix of Faux and Live

The interior plantscaping design for this upscale shopping center relies on both live and faux elements. The durability of the artificial onion grass utilized in the custom planter benches are a reliable option for such high traffic and heavily used area. The same holds true for the artificial topiary boxwood spheres which are placed in unique planters with molded geometric patterning. Live Dracaena plants are placed in modern rectangle planters behind the benches to provide both privacy and and throughout the shopping mall to create an interesting design element. The color palette is kept minimal and fresh relying on metal, wood and light upholstery which provide a neutral backdrop to the bright presence of the  plant material.

National Accounts Program Project Spotlight

Blondie’s National Program has recently installed a interiorscape design at an upscale shopping mall located in the suburbs of Minneapolis, MN. 44 new Fiberglass Decorative Tapered Square Planters were placed throughout the mall, all with a coordinating bronze finish and 175 live plants in such varieties as Dracaena Limelight, Dracaena Lemon-Lime and Aglaonema Silver-Bay were brought in and placed in groupings for a cohesive and streamlined design. 21 custom planter inserts for the Food Court were fitted with over 215 Square Feet of 18″ Preserved Prairie Grass. The grasses were selectively hand-pruned after the installation to insure that the grasses did not flop over or impede on diners. The overall effect is a simple, clean design that unifies the food court, providing both privacy and aesthetic appeal.

Greenwall Installation | Embassy Suites Hillsboro Or

For this Greenwall installation Blondie’s designer and national account developer Daria Snyder selected a trough system that attaches to a grid structure. Because of this wall’s high visibility, its planter trays that hold 6” plant material, can easily be planted or are accessed easily for plant replacement assuring ease of maintenance and seasonal rotations. This system relies on water wicking technology which has long been a successful method for regulating and extending watering cycles in a commercial environment. The walls dimension is 10’ H x 10’ W and incorporates approximately 200 6” plants. The plant palette was custom selected for the site’s location and relies on the contrast of color and texture of the plant material. This project highlights Blondie’s National Account Program and how it is set up to seamlessly function and manage national and international projects. After developing a design program with the client, we build a team of regional specialists and a local plantscaping company is brought onto the project and trained to assist in the installation and on-going maintenance of the project. By staying on as a project consultant, Blondie’s is able to monitor the quality and success of the installation and is a consistent presence in managing the project. With this type of hands on approach Blondie’s is able to offer custom high quality designs for multi-location and international brands.
