I love the use of plants at the boutique hotel, Condesa DF of Mexico City .

From the upper floors, the hallways have retractable walls so that you can see the interior garden.

Their restaurant decor is a nice mix of modern chic and Mexico color--Luis Barragan meets Scandinavia.

The rooftop lounge puts you eye level to treetops, and this creates a nice flow between old and new, modern and classic.

I'm seeing a lot of movable stools in patio and garden settings and I really like them. Still unsure about their comfort and practicality.
