However, with minor modifications to the physical conditions within a building, it is possible to find many plants from the tropical and subtropical regions of the world that will survive indoors in the temperature and humidity ranges also comfortable for human activity.  The "hardscape" aspects of interior landscape design and construction, (such as paving materials, landscape furniture, pools and fountains) are not significantly different than those same elements in the exterior environment .
