From Pandemic to Global Health

Guest Blog by: Jonathan Taylor of Andromeda District

Industrialized countries all over the world are experiencing epidemics that have little to do with the Covid19 virus. Diseases such as diabetes, cardio-vascular disease, obesity, COPD, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other chronic conditions are impacting populations and showing no signs of slowing down.

Several studies have been done which indicate that we can combat elevated temperatures and poor air quality by investing in urban greening. Andromeda District is a warrior in this fight against climate change. We understand that although we may live in a large urban center, trees and other vegetation can grow almost anywhere. Our vertical garden walls, hanging garden walls, and herbal gardens are inspired by eco-acupuncture, a term describing small interventions that can result in far-reaching gains.

Small Changes Lead to Huge Benefits

Long hikes are not necessary as micro-doses or small amounts of time in nature will help. Current research has demonstrated that spending time in nature, any amount of time, can boost our immune systems, ease our anxiety, decrease our stress, and vastly improve our chances of avoiding these killer diseases.

We believe nature flourishes inside as well as outside. The more biodiversity you have in an environment, the healthier the environment. For example, planting a variety of tree species protects forests, adds to the beauty of a green environment, and provides a shaded canopy from the harsh rays of the sun. Studies have found that just 40 percent of tree canopy coverage contributes to cooling America’s urban areas. Each of us needs a safe place where we can relax, unwind, and be close to nature. Andromeda District will help you create that tranquil place cost-effectively and in as little as two days.

We Can’t Afford to Wait

Right now in the United States:

The average temperature has increased from 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit to 1.9 degrees. From 2000 to 2009, the temperatures were the highest ever recorded. Heavy rain and flooding, especially in the Midwest and Northeast, has drastically increased between 1950 and 2000. Drought has increased in the West and Southwest and heat waves have become more frequent and much more intense. North Atlantic hurricanes have also grown in intensity since the 1980’s. The projected changes as we begin a new decade are frightening. If we do nothing to stem the tide of disastrous climate changes, every living thing on this planet will be struggling to stay alive.

Adaptive Capacity

The ability of people and communities to adjust to hazardous situations or respond to consequences is called adaptive capacity. Resilience in the face of catastrophe and disaster is the potential for each of us to successfully adapt to adverse circumstances. Each of us has the potential to positively impact the effects of climate change and Andromeda District can show you how.

Visit Our Showroom

Be sure to visit Andromeda District’s showroom when the current global crisis is over. We want to make you a climate warrior. We will show you how a vertical green garden wall can make any space into your own mini-forest. It’s easy, budget-friendly, beautiful, and beneficial for you, your family, and the planet.

Make An Entrance

How to Give Your Foyer a Painless Facelift

Guest Blog by Britto Charette

Don’t let your foyer be a lost design opportunity. David Charette, licensed interior designer and principal of Britto Charette, explains how to create an entrance that welcomes guests and makes a great first impression.

The design team at Britto Charette tackles foyers of all shapes and sizes, but three particular types are the firm’s focus: elevator foyers, vacation homes, and detached single-family homes.

According to Charette, foyers in Miami’s high-rises are often “dead” spaces. “You exit the elevator and it’s a separate enclosed space, as required by code. But it’s anticlimactic to exit an elevator and walk into a dark and an uninspiring room—especially if you have private elevator access to your suite.” The answer? Charette recommends fire-rated glass that will provide views, natural light, and a sense of welcome. “We also highly recommend going with lighter-colored finishes so you don’t have a dark or dimly lit foyer. One full wall of accent material, such as a mirror or a vibrant wall covering will enliven the space. Another great solution is to add wall sconces or something that sparkles and gives the foyer life and character,” says Charette.

When the Britto Charette team designs interiors for beach homes and vacation residences, the clients’ needs are very different. “The foyers of vacation homes should be designed with utility in mind. Our clients need a place to stow flipflops and beach gear. If you have a foyer but no mud room, then consider adding hidden storage.”

Decorating the foyer in a single-family home? Charette says it’s important to assess how you use the space. Do you need a spot to place keys or to stow umbrellas or shoes? Consider hidden storage to provide organization and prevent clutter. Do you entertain often? If so, the foyer can provide a place for floral arrangements as people arrive and gift bags as they leave. “I recommend placing a large mirror in your foyer as it is a place for you to check your appearance as you leave the house. It also acts as a second window because it reflects light, bouncing it around the space, and can be very dramatic.”

No matter the type of foyer you have, Charette says you can implement several ideas today to improve the space. “First, ask yourself, ‘When I enter my home, is it organized? Joyful?’ A foyer isn’t an afterthought. It’s like the wrapping of a special gift, so personalize it. But before all else…clean it up. Remember, clean is classy. Banish clutter.”

Second, Charette recommends adding accessories such as flowers, candles, and even a custom scent. “And don’t forget about those little details like an umbrella stand. Sollos has a beautiful piece by Jade Almeida.” Charette also suggests using pedestals, on their own or in groupings of varying heights if space permits. “Luxury Living in the Miami Design District has a beautiful pedestal that is perfect for showcasing your art or accessories.”

Have a large foyer or double-height space? Consider installing a really dramatic chandelier to act as a focal point. Or, suspend a bold piece of art from the ceiling. You can also show your family’s character with a curated collection of Instagram photos that you enlarge and frame. “Expansive foyers also provide a fabulous opportunity to incorporate rugs,” says Charette. “We also like to use large format art on one wall that creates a focal point and draws the eye into the home. An invitation to come in, explore, and relax.”

No Place Like Home by Andromeda District

Guest Blog Post by Jonathan Taylor for Andromeda District

We have been notified. Stay home to stay safe. Now is the time to enjoy the simpler things in life. Slow down and take a deep breath. Chill. Sounds easy but as many people can tell you, it’s a new way of living that some Americans are finding very hard to adhere to.

You can make staying home a satisfying experience if you know how. We at Andromeda District believe that being able to enjoy a living vertical garden wall in or outside your home will help. We also believe that your attitude is the difference between boredom and fulfillment.

Take Our Advice

Instead of succumbing to stress and uncertainty, we must become aware that we are all connected despite great physical distances. The connection extends to all living things in the universe, including animals and nature.

The Japanese have a name for taking time to appreciate life’s beauty, Hanami, which means watching blossoms. To reap the benefits of a vertical green living garden wall is to sit still and breathe deeply and realize that although this is an uncertain time, there exists many certainties in the universe. The sun rises and sets each day, seasons come and go each year, and nothing is forever.

The coronavirus has changed daily life for each of us, but not forever. Each year, cherry blossoms bloom in Japan and the Japanese come out of their homes to celebrate the season. The sole purpose of this visual celebration, Sakura, is to appreciate the exquisite beauty of the cherry blossoms when they bloom. They know the Sakura season is only two weeks, which makes the annual event even more impactful. If the cherry blossoms bloomed all year long, their presence would not be as precious. Hanami is free, open to anyone of any age, and you can do it from anywhere for as long as you want.

Making Your Home Your Sanctuary

Eventually we will be back to our regular lives, going to work, meeting in restaurants and clubs, and enjoying each other’s company. Until then, make your home a place where you can recoup your psychological losses and recharge your energy. Bring nature into your home environment. Andromeda District can help you by designing and installing a visual feast for your eyes. Whether you want a tropical design with vibrant colors or a modern motif in shades of green to fit with your lifestyle, we can make it happen.

Our inspiration comes from the awareness that just as plants need the sun, soil, and water to grow, humans need contact with the natural environment to flourish. We are the experts in creating, installing, and maintaining living green vertical garden walls for any budget. From a small herb garden to a large commercial space, our process is adaptable to your needs.

About Andromeda District

Andromeda District is the culmination of 125 years of commitment by the Taylor family. Patriarch William Taylor participated in large scale agricultural projects sponsored by the U.S. Government in Central America and his descendants are continuing his legacy today with a modern twist. They utilize their familial tradition of agriculture and dedication to “green” design to revitalize the living and workspaces of today.

Visit their Miami showroom and let them introduce you to the breathtaking simplicity of a gorgeous living vertical garden wall. Although it is very rare for cherry blossoms to bloom in Florida, thousands of other flowers and plants do. Whenever the worst is over, Andromeda will be waiting for you.
