Now this is a Moss moment! We recently installed this gorgeous inset Moss Art piece at NOVEL River District by Crescent Communities. This is a new luxury apartment community located near the Catawba River in Charlotte, NC (and it’s an awesome space). From design to installation, The Savage Way team handled every aspect of this piece. There is something about an inset Moss Art installation that feels extra special.
We worked hand in hand with our clients BB+M Architecture and PMC Commercial Interiors, Inc in creating the perfect Moss Art installation for this nook in the lobby. We created a free-flowing green moss wall to complement the nature vibes of this luxury apartment community. Our team expertly installed this massive wall feature – and we are so proud! Between the preserved moss, the wood elements and the whimsical animal wallpaper and artwork, @novelriverdistrict nails the biophilic design.
Biophilic Design blends someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies and the nature-forward approach into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity and creativity.
The theme of Novel River District is “Experience Life Wildly Tamed.” What a fitting description of this nature-in-mind space. We love seeing real preserved moss being used in interior design. Being able to take a mood board and custom design something to perfectly complement the vibe of a space is the stuff of our dreams. If you want to check out the space and see the moss in person, you can visit NOVEL River District located at 6006 Interwine Street.

Quick Summary:
- New Moss Art for Address East End Apartments in Raleigh, NC
- Large Preserved Moss wall with logo welcomes residents in lobby / reception area
- The Savage Way Team turn-key installation available.
Apartment and Multi-Family Living Communities are some of our favorite locations to install Moss Art. Not only do we get to enhance the everyday living for residents, but we are able to positively impact every single visitor to the common areas. This latest preserved moss wall was created for Address East End Apartments in Raleigh, NC, a new luxury apartment facility.
We worked in collaboration with the client and the designers, Southpark Interiors, to create this geode pattern-inspired corner Moss Art installation. Using shades of green and a stark contrast of black moss helped to elevate the piece to match the upscale vibe of the complex. Then to have a white logo and a backlit option really helped to make the large scale piece stand out. Check out this behind the scenes video we made of this project.
The Savage Way Team travelled and installed this gorgeous new artwork for the Address East End crew. Our highly skilled team made the process turn-key for the client. We were able to handle all of the minor changes on-site and touchup the moss to ensure the piece looked flawless. Please note that we have a variety of installation options in our contracts. We are always available to install the end artwork turn-key, or we work hand-in-hand with the Millworker or General Contractor to make sure that instructions are clear for the onsite installer. Whatever is in the budget and desire of the client can be accommodated.
Moss Art is such a great way to elevate your interior design. Brining in plants without the maintenance is such a great option for multi-family living communities. We love when a vision comes to life like this project.

QUICK SUMMARY:
– Faux Greenery wall installed at Collet Capital in Midtown, Charlotte, NC.
– 61sqft of A-Class fire-rated and UV protected faux plants next to a sleek wood slat wall elevating the biophilic design
– Beyond faux green walls, The Savage Way can create faux planters, hanging plants from the ceiling, etc.
We have another Faux Greenery project to share. We worked with the folks at Collet & Associates and Warco Construction to bring you this gorgeous Faux Greenery wall at the Collet Capital location in Midtown, Charlotte, NC. This is 61 sqft of lush faux plants next to a wood slat wall in their common area. Since our typical preserved Moss Art was not the desired end aesthetic goal, we were able to offer this alternative solution to a full green wall moment.
We love the use of Faux Foliage panels to bring even more elements of biophilic design into the space. Our faux greenery product is made from plastic plants that are A-Class fire-rated and UV protected, that means you get all of the visual benefits of a ‘living plant wall’ without the need for natural light, a maintenance schedule or drainage. Read more on the product here or check out our web page with more details.
The use of greenery in any space brings such an element of grounding and joy to the people that work there. We love how the mixture of wood elements, greenery and calming blue paint cohesively work together to create a modern workspace that is enviable. The more that we work with these faux greenery materials, the more we appreciate how plants (even when they are artificial) can elevate and change the energy of a space.
This particular project is showcasing how our Faux Greenery walls can look next to sleek millwork panels…and it is beyond gorgeous. However, it is also fun to note that a square or rectangle shape is not the only moment we can create. More biophilic design elements can come to life in the form of planters, hanging plants from the ceiling, etc. We have a ton of both fire-rated and non-fire-rated options to suit your style (and budget). Please feel free to inquire for more information.

Biophilic Design Incorporated into Exterior Design
Recently, we had the opportunity to bring a moment of calm to Truist’s outdoor atrium space. We created an outdoor Faux Greenery wall using an A-Class fire-rated and UV protected product. That means Truist gets all of the aesthetic benefits of a ‘living plant wall’ without the need for natural light, a maintenance schedule or drainage.
For Truist Bank, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, we’ve had the pleasure of creating several moments of biophilic design for the interior corporate offices. Check out the 40′ preserved Moss Art wall we created for them. If you are not familiar, Biophilic Design blends someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies and the nature-forward approach into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity and creativity.
This outdoor wall was a great solution to bringing some of that biophilia to the atrium of the building when Moss Art was not an option. Moss Art is an indoor only product (as it can’t withstand the changing elements). However, this Faux Greenery was the perfect way to incorporate everything we love about preserved plant walls while being outside. It creates a moment for both employees and passersby. In a chaotic world, any moment to pause and take in a sense of calm is well worth it in our opinion.
Before Photos of Truist Outdoor Faux Greenery Wall in Uptown Charlotte, NC
The project covered 110 sqft of space and looks lovely in the background of the Uptown Charlotte landscape. The use of additional purple foliage helps to bring together the branding elements of Truist. It is a subtle nod to their brand but an important one for brand recognition.
We are loving the addition of outdoor Faux Greenery as a product offering at The Savage Way. If you are looking for a lush, green product with longevity that withstand the elements, reach out!

Terraces at Park Place showcases beautiful, organic Moss Art in their newly redesigned space. And in our opinion, this is how you elevate a corporate lobby!
The Savage Way was brought in to design a Moss Art installation that would cover the expansive, white lobby. We worked with the team at Collett Capital, owners of the property, to bring biophilic design into the space. We landed on these wavy, flowing lines in various shades of green to bring life to the space. Using preserved reindeer moss, we were able to create a calming, welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in the door.
Terraces at Park Place is a plaza owned and operated by Collett Capital. Collett Capital is a real estate private equity firm with over $700+ million in assets under management. The firm is focused on acquiring and developing well-located, income producing real estate assets with durable cash flows and upside potential. Learn more here. In this particular building, there is 73,000+ square feet of space with tenants like OrthoCarolina, Starbucks, Sabor Latin Street Grill, Sherwin Williams, Firehouse Subs, TLC Wings, Sprint, Pizza Hut, and more.
We love when companies decide to use green walls in their space. Biophilic design, or someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things, blends perfectly into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity. Research has shown that humans prefer a natural environment over built, especially in a post-COVID world. By having Moss Art in a workspace, employers are promoting overall well-being.
We love the scale of this project with Collett Capital and are honored to be included in the design.
