RULES Architects have combined the ultra modern with the organic by incorporating indoor plants in creative ways throughout the spaces. You'll see how these are no ordinary potted plants: vines creep up walls, and pop up out of built in storage to perfectly counteract the modern finishes and amenities of these spaces.

So, wander through these spaces and find some inspiration to incorporate plants into your own home.
