Editor-in-Chief @hgarvey is taking us inside Denver’s Populus Hotel, where sustainability isn’t a side note, it’s the main event. Designed by Studio Gang and inspired by the sculptural form of Colorado’s aspen trees, the building is a striking addition to the city skyline. Inside, design firm Wildman Chalmers layers in calming, nature-forward interiors made with sustainable materials that feel as good as they look. Populus is carbon positive, composting 100% of its food waste and planting a tree

At the edge of the Taklimakan Desert, populus euphratica trees narrate a 65-million-year saga! From Mediterranean origins to desert survival, they embody tenacity: "Alive for a millennium, standing for a millennium after death, and enduring for another millenium even when fallen." Each tree personifies spirit, character and unyielding pride. #Xinjiang #Populus #euphratica | China Matters
