Miro Office

Meristem Design partnered with Miro to transform their Fleet Street office into a biophilic workspace that prioritises the health and well-being of its employees. The design incorporates a variety of natural elements, particularly indoor plants, to create a workspace that is not only aesthetically appealing but also enhances productivity and mental well-being. 

The Miro brand envisioned a workplace that not only exemplified their forward-thinking and dynamic ethos but also provided a nurturing environment for their employees. By introducing biophilic principles, which emphasise the human connection to nature, the project aimed to create a greener, more harmonious work environment.

Meristem Design divided the office space into distinct zones, each catering to different activities and workstyles, from focused, solitary tasks to dynamic, collaborative teamwork. Each of these areas features a bespoke planting palette, ranging from serene, minimalistic plant arrangements in quiet focus zones to more vibrant, lush displays in collaborative spaces.  

Biophilic design, rooted in the innate human affinity for nature, was the guiding principle for this project. Meristem Design embraced this concept, aiming to establish a harmonious connection between nature and the built environment. The office space was strategically divided into four distinct zones, each demanding a unique impact of greenery to cater to different employee needs.

The focus and silent zones within the Miro Green Office were conceived as serene retreats, providing employees with an environment conducive to deep concentration and uninterrupted work. We employed a diverse range of different-sized loose pots, creating a visually captivating display.

By incorporating plants at varying heights and textures, these areas not only enhanced visual interest but also contributed to improved air quality and noise reduction, allowing employees to find solace and focus amidst the greenery.

In contrast to the tranquil focus zones, the collaborative areas of the Miro Green Office were meticulously designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and the free flow of ideas. We leveraged the power of different plant heights and textures to create a vibrant and inspiring atmosphere. Clusters of three plants housed in planters were thoughtfully placed at different heights, offering visual interest and reinforcing the connection with nature. These transitional elements played a crucial role in maintaining the overarching biophilic design while ensuring a smooth transition between different areas within the office space.

The Miro Green Office in London stands as a testament to the significant impact of office greening and biophilic design on employee well-being and productivity. Studies have consistently shown that incorporating natural elements in the workplace, such as indoor plants and nature-inspired design, leads to reduced stress levels, increased creativity, enhanced cognitive function, and improved overall job satisfaction.

The Miro Office exemplifies the potential of creating a sustainable and plant-filled workspace, where employees thrive in an environment that promotes their physical and mental well-being.
