Green Roofs - Living Architecture Monitor Fall 2020 - 17
A PLANTED OASIS ABOVE
SAN FRANCISCO
A
t 1,070 feet, the Salesforce Tower is the tallest building in San Francisco and
host to the Ohana Room, a pinnacle manifestation of workplace design with
360 degree views of the city.
Ohana means 'intentional family' in Hawaiian, which encapsulates the
room's intention to promote collaboration, sustainability, fun, and wellness. This
included clear sightlines, open flow to allow access to the best sunlight and views,
and inspirations from nature.
To bring the intent of the Ohana Room to life, 24 structural columns which
surround the circular floor were transformed into colorful and vivid plantscapes.
Each column is 13 feet high which required approximately 25,000 plants to cover
3,500 square feet of cylindrical space.
128 plant species were selected to provide colors and textures that would
result in a dynamic viewing experience around each of the columns. No two
columns are alike: with varying sun exposure, visitors experience changeable hues
when observing them from different vantage points. The end result is a tranquil
and verdant naturescape set against a sweeping city backdrop and views of the
Bay and Pacific Ocean.
Paying homage to the Hawaiian-inspired intention, 48 different varieties of
orchids were sourced for rich and delightful pops of color. As a blended space for
hosting both community and workforce collaboration, the columns are a source
of psychological and literal nourishment: edible herbs such as mint, basil, tarragon and dill were also included for potential use in Salesforce's kitchens.
Judges praised this project for aesthetics, thoughtful use of green wall technology, and broader community benefits.
