Located on a dystopia city, the plant will have totally different atmosphere from surrounding environment. The plant room is not just a room for a plant, but rather a small public hotel. It is open to everyone. Anyone can access this plant room not just the people who are actually staying in the hotel. This space is a place where anyone can chill and relax. Very open and bright, enlightening the dystopic Auckland CBD. During the midday, people who are tired of their work or people who want a relief can just use this space as a socialising space with plants and sunlight and all that. And maybe at night time, the homeless people outside burger king, craving for a refillable drinking cup, can stay at the plant room which is a free “hotel”. So overall, it is like people from dystopic world entering the utopic space.
