Apiary designed a set of hot-dip galvanized steel planters to flank the entrance points of an apartment lobby. We played up the asymmetrical sides to offset the pitch of the pavement, and stamped out the street addresses in sharp relief on the front planes. The planters add dimension to the facade, and the succession of bold textured tropical plantings that they host in the growing season add to the eclectic street-side container garden array so characteristic of South Philly.
