A mix of Phyllostachys bamboo was used to satisfy various height
requirements.
Custom soil mixes, state-of-the-art irrigation systems and a thorough re-design of the existing lighting system (resulting in readings of 850 fc at the canopies and 100+ fc at the ground) meant the bamboo could not only survive, but flourish at Children’s Hospital.
The pictures on this page, taken over four years after the installation, confirm the wisdom of choosing bamboo for a challenging interior space. The photos don’t show the appreciable increase in ambient oxygen, but as one would imagine, its benefits are enjoyed.
And the children love the look, which is the best result of all.
