Materials 100% Natural : Seychelles sand, rocks, driftwood, vines & roots, shells...

Additional Information I wanted this project 100% natural, the more close to nature. It is therefore the mosses in this project will serve as a substrate for plants.

Following this idea, so I prepared a real system of rain water to feed the plants and naturally. They will be installed in epiphytes on the branches of driftwood above the island.

Four fans, hidden in the ceiling aerate the tank closed and sealed, making the foliage naturally dance airflow.

So in order to give more realism to the project, pump vibrations recreates the waves and gives life to the water area, which causes the rippling sand all around the island.

And finally, the misty atmosphere is generated by three foggers hidden.

The artificial climate established, is subject to several factors such as rain, wind, fog, and waves. And automatic and random combination of some or many of them will simultaneously have different and varied results depending on the elements.

The water used is entirely of rainwater (without limestone so). Splashing leaves no traces on the windows as it dries.
