Green Park

Modernising and revamping the entrance floor, with new features and settings, was the basis of Savills’ work for the refurbishment of the common areas of the Green Park Building, in Lisbon. Creating a feeling of freshness by using typical indoor plants, adapted to our climate, that awaken the senses, spark curiosity and make the spaces more creative and welcoming, was the challenge Savills set to the Horto do Campo Grande team in this project, where nature took centre stage.

After analysing the project, and in particular the location of the planters, the Horto do Campo Grande team proposed the selection of species that would best adapt to the different environments and that would meet the goals set by SAVILLS for the different spaces.

The choice was made based on solar orientation, the presence of natural light and its intensity. The aesthetic and functional side was also an important factor taken into account when selecting the plants, always opting for those that looked best in each location.

In the flower boxes with lighter vegetation, we found Chamaedorea elegans, whose simplicity and elegance contrast with the mix of plants chosen for the other flower boxes, which is more varied and fun, with very different sizes, shapes and colours.

In the areas with better sun exposure, Strelitzia nicolai with lush green foliage was combined with exotic Croton petra and Dypsis lutescens, better known as areca palms, along with the famous and hardy snake plants. In the planters with less sun exposure, the selection focused on Calathea ornata, peace lilies, Zamioculcas zamiifolia and snake plants, to create greater visual harmony. In the stairwell area, you’ll find the versatile Philodendron xanadu, with glossy green leaves, with touches of English ivy.
