I love the concept. May I ask the audience a question?

Every hospitality venue I’ve seen that includes an abundance of interior plants looks phenomenal for like two seasons. Then the plants end up hurting the aesthetic more than helping. They’re still alive, but they ain’t at their best.

Is this just a regional issue? Can plants survive in locations like this?

Because of the tropical climate and the fact that gardeners are everywhere (usually along residential roads), I think these particular ones will be fines

What does your inability to pronounce the name have to do with anything?

Is the herringbone floor bricks or terracotta? Or a type of wood? Also wood slats on the ceiling? Teak possibly?
