From Tad: The interior of this dream house brings the outdoors inside. I designed  large interior planters, large enough to hold a ficus tree and going up three stories high, next to the atrium. This provides the house with greenery and air cleansing. In a recent trip to NYC, we went to the Orchid Show at the Botanical Gardens and saw Patrick Blanc’s vertical gardens.   See his designs below. Viewing beauty in nature, indoors, is an inspiration.
