The space is screened by walls which are fabricated from steel rods and frameworks. This allows people to see a layering effect that “hosts” the shop. Flowers are used as part of the layer by hanging the differing varieties of flowers from the structure itself. The structure attempts to celebrate nature like a “trunk” of a weeping willow allowing the blossom to hang effortlessly.

A “climbing” vertical floral screen structure folds upwards to create a focal point within public spaces and shopping mall atrium’s bringing a freshness and invigoration of colour and scent. It is both a meeting point and destination as well as a “quick stop” coffee pick up or special occasion for flowers.

The vertical screen acts as a “way finding” instrument for the public. It creates this “Hanging Garden” of colour that orientates people. It is unique in its form and beauty which makes it distinctively identifiable from the other retail units within its vicinity. “The Beast” brings a welcome coffee break to shopping or on the move to the office within the buildings around and provides a function and product that the Public can buy a gift or a bouquet of flowers for a relative or loved one.

“Flowers seem intended for the solace of ordinary humanity.”

– John Ruskin
