Looks like a good default starting scene :-) . I like the idea for lots of vegetation, makes me think of the Gardens of Babylon, etc. Something mind blowing in terms of lots of vegetation, waterfalls, a lavish garden, butterflies, birds, etc. a Dream Office surrounded by nature, exotic plants, animals, etc.

Wow so I see everyone is moving at quite the speed so this is just a test render for vegetation and messing around with the overall layout

Cool

. Nice, huge windows, -the tree gives a good idea for how it looks like you want nature/plants to play a large part in your design. Maybe make those windows work as touch screen monitors, 'invisible' monitors, light sensing, Electrochromic windows - Smart Glass, etc. Reminds me of this house a little bit. Nice work!
