Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, Vail, CO

We were delighted to be chosen to provide the planters and irrigation systems for the on-structure planters at the brand-new Ritz-Carlton Destination Club in Vail, CO this past spring. The project was specified by SE Group from Burlington, VT (who ought to know a thing or two about designing ski locations), and installed by Rocky Mountain Custom Landscapes.  Recently our mountain-states representative Scott Doman visited the site, and sent back this description and the attached images.

Just in time for the Olympics? Or not – Westin Bayshore, Vancouver BC

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

When we received the call from Coconut Grove, a interiorscaper and landscape contractor near Vancouver, the clock was already ticking. Their client, the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver, wanted to update the public areas of the hotel before the Olympic parade rolled into town.  Unfortunately, there simply wasn’t enough time to pull together the material they wanted for the order.

Metro Collection Ash/Trash Receptacle

Metro Collection ash/trash receptacle MS-ATR

This certainly won’t go down as our most glamorous post, but it proves a point.  A designer pointed out today that there weren’t any images of our Metro Collection Ash/Trash receptacles available on our website or in our catalog.  The quickest way to change that and share the image is to post it here on the blog.

If there is a product that you’d like to see more of but don’t find on our website, just shoot off an email to info@tournesolsiteworks.com.  You’ll find a few more images and product details after the break.

Urban Collection round US-2400, US-3600 and US-3000

Sometimes I think if you follow our blog you’d think that all we do is living wall systems.  Just to set the record straight, that couldn’t be further from the truth.  While living wall is a fast-emerging opportunity for us, our bread-and-butter business remains manufacturing pots, planters, and irrigation systems.  We try to post as many images from installed projects in this blog so that our customers have a chance to see what our products really look like in the field, and to get a sense of whether it will work for what they’re doing.  We also hope, just a little, that it will provide inspiration and ideas for designers looking for ways to make their urban environment greener. More info about NoHo 14 after the break.

Terrace at 211 Main St., San Francisco

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Have you ever wondered what the inside of a big-time corporate boardroom looked like?  I know I did.  It was fun for us to work on this relatively small terrace project for one of the financial service titans in San Francisco. They recently moved buildings, and found themselves with a boardroom looking over an undecorated rooftop.  The view was great, but the roof wasn’t.  They brought in landscape architects Smith+Smith in San Francisco to soften the view.  Click to continue »
