Yesterday, we had a photoshoot for Odelic.
Odelic is a supplier of lights (house and garden), we use frequently when adding lights to a garden.
This shoot was done by Odelic itself for their catalogue.
They want to show how their products could look like when used.
The place for this shoot was a rooftop and a first floor, we designed earlier this year.
It is a building, which combines office space with apartments.
The owner loves green and nature and wanted to show it by using wood, interesting trees and evergreen climbing plants.
But of course, there should also be a modern factor, which is shown on the facade of the building and the unusual appearance of the aluminium fence for the climbers to grow.
The rooftop is a resting space for the employees of the companies as well as for the tenants.
There is a wooden terrace with chairs and tables for this purpose.
But most of the rooftop is covered with lawn.
This year, it is a combination of Phyla canescens, flowering plants and grass.
It is meant as a playground for dogs. Something, which is very rare in Japan.
All around the rooftop are planters with conifers for either give the image of privacy and for providing one more safety belt for not letting the dogs reach the surrounding fence.
It is wonderful to see the dogs play on this lawn.
In Japan, a dog leash has to be used any time.
This place is the only possibility for them to really run. And also to play and fight.
I didn't help much with the design of this place, but I was involved in the planting process and made the plant coordination in front of the entrance.
I am very happy, that I was involved in creating a green oasis for humans and dogs!
