Awards and Articles

We’re proud to share some exciting news, our team has been honored with two 2025 design awards from the International Plantscape Awards, during the Tropical Plants International Expo 2026. Our moss wall installation at Gulf Canada Square received the Platinum Award, while our overall plant design for the Element Hotel Calgary Downtown project was recognized with the Gold Award.

These awards celebrate excellence in biophilic design, sustainability, and innovative integration of greenery within hospitality environments. The moss wall feature was recognized for its visual impact, craftsmanship, and ability to transform the guest experience through natural texture and calming design. In addition, the full plant design concept was awarded for enhancing the space with thoughtfully curated greenery that supports atmosphere and architectural harmony.

This recognition reflects our commitment to delivering elevated, functional, and lasting green installations for our clients. We’re grateful for the opportunity to create spaces that not only look beautiful but also make a meaningful impact.

Awards like these reinforce our passion for bringing nature into built environments in meaningful ways, whether in commercial or hospitality settings. We are proud to continue raising the standard for interior greenery design across Canada.

As part of this recognition, we are especially proud of our preserved moss wall installation at Gulf Canada Square in downtown Calgary. Greenery Office Interiors was engaged to coordinate and deliver the installation of two large-scale moss artworks in the building’s revitalized main lobby, working closely with the base building design team, Entro, ByNature, and EllisDon Construction.

These double-height moss walls transform the lobby into a vibrant biophilic focal point, featuring sweeping curves and a curated palette of greens, pacific blue, and bright yellow. While the concept and fabrication were led by our design partners, the project required extensive planning, detailed coordination, and careful execution by our team to bring the installation seamlessly to life within an active downtown office tower.

The finished walls serve as both sculptural artwork and a subtle wayfinding landmark, creating a calming connection to nature in the heart of the city. Designed for long-term, low-maintenance performance, the installation offers a distinctive feature that supports a healthy, contemporary workplace environment.

This project at the Element Hotel Calgary Downtown, was a truly exciting opportunity to be part of a one-of-a-kind transformation. As cities adapt to changing workplace needs, this building became the first office to hotel conversion of its kind in Calgary. The unique structure and prominent location presented design challenges, and we were proud to collaborate closely with the ownership team to help shape a welcoming new hospitality experience.

To enhance the guest journey from the street, we introduced strategic exterior planter installations that support wayfinding, guide visitors toward the hotel entrance and adjacent café, and add a subtle layer of definition along the frontage. Designed to shift with the seasons, these planters keep the exterior environment fresh and engaging year-round.

Inside, curated plant installations were incorporated to improve privacy and comfort in meeting spaces, while thoughtfully placed greenery throughout shared seating areas helped soften the interiors and complement the hotel’s design aesthetic. Public spaces, including the rooftop restaurant, were further elevated through the replacement of artificial greenery with vibrant live plants, bringing authenticity and warmth to the guest experience.

Ongoing seasonal décor, tabletop plantings, and festive holiday installations continue to strengthen the hotel’s identity and reflect a collaborative partnership built on creativity, adaptability, and lasting value.

For Gulf Canada Square, project management and installation were led by Dara Harrington and Artem Mykhaliov, with preserved moss supplied by ByNature and construction support from EllisDon.

For the Element Hotel, Dara Harrington served as General Manager, Johann Ronald guided the creative direction, and Svitlana Mykhaliov brought the seasonal and holiday design elements to life.

We’re proud to work alongside such skilled individuals and partners who help us create meaningful, lasting green spaces for our clients.
