The trees flank the entrance as you approach the building, and any new plantings would need adequate soil in order to survive and grow in to arresting parts of the landscape.

During excavation, the advantage of a modular system like the Silva Cell was immediately apparent – the excavation area revealed plentiful fiber optic, as well as an old watering well
