Project overview
Meristem Design transformed the reception and interior of a central London office building into a vibrant green oasis. The project included a 50sqm living wall, over 2000 plants, and lush tropical features, creating a striking, biophilic workspace.
Goal
To create a welcoming, visually striking green environment that enhances wellbeing and air quality while complementing the building’s design.
Scope
The project involved installing a living wall, tropical plants, and free-standing potted plants in both the reception area and across all five floors of the building.
Solutions
From thoughtfully selected plants to strategic lighting, we implemented multiple solutions to ensure longevity. Following the success of phase one, additional plants were installed across all five floors to unify the entire building.
Pre-planting Offsite
All 2000+ plants were pre-planted and grown at Meristem's Sevenoaks workshop to ensure they were healthy and established before installation.
Plant Selection
Hardy, tropical plants were chosen to create a jungle-like atmosphere while ensuring longevity in the indoor environment.
Horticultural Lighting
Specialised lighting was added to support healthy plant growth, ensuring the plants thrived indoors.
Comprehensive Maintenance
A bi-weekly maintenance plan was implemented, ensuring consistent care and health of all plants post-installation.
Impact
The project delivered significant aesthetic, environmental, and wellbeing benefits
Visual Transformation
The lush green wall and tropical plants created a striking focal point, enhancing the building's design.
Air Quality Improvement
The diverse plant selection contributed to a healthier indoor atmosphere by filtering toxins.
Increased Occupant Wellbeing
The biophilic design boosted employee wellbeing and productivity by connecting occupants with nature.
