Unless its also surrounded by seriously dense forest or something.

Not saying you can grow a lot of blooming plants, because no doubt it will be too shady for that. A few might make it.

Are you talking about outdoors in summer, or is this a year-round, enclosed and heated space?

Some thoughts for the summer:

Ferns, Tradescantias, various types of begonias, both foliage and flowering, coleus, fuchsias, impatiens, and such shade loving indoor vines as philodendrons and pothos would all work. Nepthytis, ivy and grape ivy, too.
