Market sector: Commercial property
Location: Melbourne
Designer: Kristina Tarle, KTDesigns
Builder: PMG Group
Scope: Plant selection, potting solutions and sub-irrigation systems

Key challenge: Fitting sub-irrigation systems and appropriately sized plants into large-diameter pots
Our Approach
Knight Frank supplied its own pots for the project, with Parker Road Project Manager, Louise, providing guidance to help ensure the selections worked within the space and the overall design by Kristina Tarle of KTDesigns.
Some of the larger pots presented a planting puzzle. Choosing plants based purely on the pot diameter would have resulted in greenery that was far too large for the surrounding area. Our team carefully matched each pot with a plant that suited both its proportions and its position within the office.
We also fitted sub-irrigation systems to selected client-supplied pots, helping make ongoing watering and maintenance simpler while achieving the desired finished look.
The successful collaboration with Knight Frank, KTDesigns and PMG Group has since continued with a second Knight Frank office project at 222 Exhibition Street.
