Four Seasons – Bahrain Bay, Bahrain
On an exclusive island in the heart of the Kingdom’s capital, Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay soars as a destination in its own right. A bold statement by the architectural firm SOM, our cosmopolitan oasis combines the best of a beach holiday and an urban getaway.
The Brief
For the opening of the new Four Seasons hotel in Bahrain, the customer required some large artificial trees for their lobby and external balcony. The hotel is well known for it’s five star luxury and unparalleled service, it was important that the trees fit this image.
Our Solution
The customer wanted the trees to look as natural as possible, so we opted for natural olive trunks that we grafted limbs and a branch structure onto. Working with the customer, natural trunks were selected from a sustainably sourced farm. Custom baseplate risers were also required so that the trees could fit into custom planters that were disguising air conditioning units. We used our premium FireSilx FR foliage for the internal trees, and so that we could be sure the colour would remain true for years to come, we went with our FireSilx FR & UVSilx colourfast foliage for the external trees.
The Outcome
The Four Seasons Bahrain is a truly impressive building! The lobby is breath taking, and our top quality Arboretum olive trees fit in perfectly, only adding to this luxury space. The trees are 100% maintenance free, and definitely require no watering and will be around for years to come.
