An Indoor Resort Oasis Built for Entertainment, Escape, and Atmosphere
At Gun Lake Resort’s Wawyé Oasis, Treescapes® helped create a destination environment that brings the feeling of a tropical resort into the heart of a large-scale entertainment venue.
Designed beneath a dramatic glass atrium, the space blends the energy of a casino, the relaxation of a pool resort, and the atmosphere of a live event venue. Treescapes®’ palm installations play a defining role in that experience, giving the entire environment a sense of height, warmth, and natural movement.
Tall palm trees rise throughout the pool deck, framing cabanas, lounge areas, walkways, and gathering spaces with a lush resort identity. Their textured trunks and full crowns create vertical impact beneath the expansive glass roof, while layered tropical plantings around the base help soften the architecture and make the space feel immersive from every angle.
The palms do more than decorate the oasis. They shape the guest journey. They guide sightlines across the pool, define intimate seating zones, and create a tropical rhythm that carries through the entire venue. Whether guests are relaxing poolside, walking through the resort, or attending a live performance, the landscape becomes part of the atmosphere.
Built for a high-traffic hospitality and entertainment environment, the Treescapes® elements deliver the beauty and scale of mature resort landscaping with long-term durability and consistent visual impact. The result is a space that feels alive, polished, and ready for year-round experiences.
