Located at Two Melbourne Quarter, 697 Collins Street in Docklands, the MQ2 Foyer is a stunning example of biophilic design transforming a corporate space into a lush indoor sanctuary.

Completed in June 2020 for Lendlease and designed by Woods Bagot, Fytogreen Australia delivered and maintains this vibrant installation featuring 9m² water reservoir planter boxes and a diverse planting scheme of 56 tree and underplanting species.

With pot sizes ranging from 600mm to 1000mm, the design creates a layered, natural aesthetic that softens architectural lines and enhances well-being for visitors and employees.

Six years on, the greenery remains thriving thanks to sustainable irrigation and expert care, proving that green infrastructure can be both beautiful and enduring.
