The Intercon Grove
Installed at the newly constructed Intercontinental Hotel in Times Square, NYC, The Grove was modeled after a stand of old growth birch trees. Measuring 11 feet high by over 15 feet wide, the trees are constructed from over 5,000 individually cut and welded segments of industrial carbon steel, and covered with a clear, high gloss powder-coat finish. The trees are mounted on a live growth island surrounded by a stone-bottomed water reflecting pool, and set against a back lit wall of red Lucite and live bamboo.
