When ATRA Studio unveiled The Garden House Design Showcase at the Rosewood Residences, it wasn’t just another show house — it was a living study in restraint, materiality, and the quiet tension between art and nature.
More than staging a space, ATRA curated an entire ecosystem. Every marble curve, volcanic surface, and woven texture echoed a commitment to Mexican craft and timeless design. When we at Hommes + Gardens were invited to shape the plant architecture within those interiors, the goal wasn’t decoration — it was continuation.
Our role was to listen to that conversation and let the plants respond.
We approached the interiors like a landscape contained. The branches, leaves, and silhouettes we selected weren’t chosen for color but for their form and frequency — how they caught light, how they interacted with space.
In a home where craftsmanship and proportion dominate, plants become architectural material.We leaned into structural species with sculptural rhythm, such as the Ficus lyrata and Podocarpus for verticality and poise, and Bird’s nest ferns and Rhipsalis for movement and softness.
The result is less greenery and more living architecture — plants that complete the sentence the furniture began.
In The Garden House, nothing feels ornamental; everything feels inevitable.
For us, the collaboration was a study in sensitivity — a reminder that nature doesn’t interrupt design; it refines it. A perfect case study that speaks to our philosophy, when design becomes nature, nature becomes home.
