In Asian culture the Wisteria tree is a symbol of longevity and vitality: a fitting subject for the mezzanine of Wisteria Place, a seniors residence in Richmond, BC.
Designing the tree with many small shapes symbolizes a community made up of individuals people. Contributions from the residents and construction crew resulted in the home’s main feature artwork and became a beacon for the new community.
It has become our masterpiece that we all get to embrace everyday!
