Michael Singer's work for Concourse C, Denver International Airport, includes the design of a 5,000-square-foot interior garden with sculptural and architectural elements as well as a 7,000-square-foot inlaid granite stone pattern drawing for the floor below. The materials for the garden level include wood, stone, individually cast concrete panels and plant materials. The garden is visible from the floor above and the floor below, built between the two trafficked levels of the airport concourse. The walls of the garden space are fifteen feet high and constructed at an angle. Specially selected vines climb and weave through the patinated walls and over the ground plane and sculptural elements. A moss garden is placed at the northeast end of the space. Water from the irrigation system also wets the surfaces of the sculptural elements. Bird feeders are set into the trellis and help maintain the garden as a habitat for small birds.
