Commercial Planters at Brookfield Place
Large Bell Planters added planting and a defined al fresco boundary to a concrete commercial frontage at Brookfield Place. Their scale suited the broad paved setting, while mature tropical planting introduced height and softened the hard surfaces around the customer-facing outdoor area.
A concrete frontage without planting
The original setting was visually dominated by concrete and lacked a clear distinction between the entrance and outdoor seating. The project required planting with enough scale to register against the building without major structural work.

Bell Planter
Introducing the Bell Planter, a fusion of premium lightweight Terrazzo and Polystone resin. Elegantly squat, with up to 3x wall thickness for strength. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings.
Large Bell Planters were positioned along the frontage to establish a clear edge around the seating zone. The rounded profile provided substantial planting volume without introducing the harder line of a square or rectangular planter.
Mature tropical plants added immediate height and foliage. Planter size, plant scale and spacing were considered together so the planting remained visible across the paved area and from the approach to the building.
Commercial placement considerations
Commercial planters need to work around entrances, pedestrian movement, service access, drainage and ongoing plant care. A smaller pot would not have held the same proportion in this setting, while a poorly positioned planter could have restricted movement around the frontage.
Other commercial planter specifications also need to account for traffic flow, delivery and maintenance. Oversize planters are relevant where completed weight, access and visual scale dominate the selection.
