Biophilic design

Interior planting that’s designed, not decorated

For Atlanta workplaces where the greenery is part of the architecture: planned with your design team, installed to the drawings, and cared for after the punch list.

The part of the design that keeps growing

Biophilic design connects people to nature inside a building through light, materials, views and living planting. The planting is the one element that changes every day: it grows, responds to its conditions, and either thrives or visibly declines.

That’s where most installations fall short. A scheme is designed well, installed well, and then nobody is scheduled to look after it. Within a year it’s leggy and thinning, and the design intent is gone.

We handle both halves: designing and installing the planting, and the scheduled care that keeps it matching the original intent.

What we design and install

See all our work

Atrium and lobby installations

Large plantings for the spaces everyone sees, with species chosen to survive a bright, tall volume.

Planter runs as dividers

Long plantings that separate zones on an open floor and move when the plan does.

Layered groupings

Mixed species layered by height, texture and leaf color, so they read as designed rather than bought.

Planters matched to the finishes

Containers chosen against the interior palette, in finishes and sizes that suit the architecture.

Statement specimens

Single large plants placed where the design needs a focal point: a column, a window line, a reception wall.

Cafés and lounges

Amenity zones where people linger, planted to hold up under heavy use.

Working with design teams

We install to your drawings

Or bring us in early and we’ll help work out what the space needs.

  • Plans and finish palettes

    Send the drawings and material selections; we price and specify against them.

  • Insurance and site requirements

    Fully insured, with certificates of insurance provided for the site and the GC.

  • Install windows that fit the schedule

    Coordinated with the general contractor, the loading dock and after-hours access so planting doesn’t hold up turnover.

  • Care after the punch list

    A care program quoted with the install, so the design intent is still there in year three.

Questions design teams ask

Yes. Send us the plans and the finish palette and we'll price and install to them. We're equally comfortable installing a scheme you've specified or proposing the planting for a space you've already designed.

It's one of the things we install most. Long planter runs separate zones and soften an open floor without a permanent wall, and they can move when the floor plan changes. There are several examples in our work gallery.

Yes. Atriums, tall lobbies and amenity floors are routine, including bringing in large specimens, working around height and access limits, and choosing species that will hold up in that light.

We usually quote care in the same proposal. A designed installation declines quietly if nobody is scheduled to look after it, so we set up weekly or biweekly visits to keep it matching the design.

Research on biophilic design associates interior planting with how comfortable and connected to nature people feel in a space. We keep our own claim simpler: a well-designed, well-kept installation is one of the few amenities every occupant walks past every day, and neglected plants send the opposite signal.
