situation:
The Best Western Edgewater Resort & Waterpark was looking to build a 35,000 square foot indoor waterpark that took guests far away to a tropical island—with an exploding volcano as the centerpiece and Polynesian-themed water adventures all around. Commercial Silk International was contracted by the themeing Company to design, manufacture and install the tropical themed plantscape.
initiatives:
Our project team began by reviewing the major elements of the waterpark design to determine what areas would benefit the most and have the largest impact from the infusion of plant material. After strategically locating the various planting areas, our team selected a pallet of tropical foliages from our extensive line of fire retardant artificial foliages that combined the right leaf sizes, shapes, textures and colors to achieve the desired theme.
results:
We created pockets of lush plant material to soften the rockwork on the large exploding volcano and to create additional interest on the centerpiece structure. We designed and installed an entire planting for a balcony ledge planter complete with draping ivies, garlands and assorted bushes. We created a colorful canopy of tropical plants by weaving vines and bougainvillea through the trellis of an arbor. The entire project was completed on time, within budget and satisfied the fire code requirements.
