Case Study: How Moss Walls Transformed This Corporate Office Space
In recent years, we've seen a growing trend towards biophilic design in office spaces. Biophilic design involves incorporating natural elements, such as plants and natural materials, into indoor environments to promote well-being and productivity. One element of biophilic design that has gained popularity is the moss wall. These green walls are made of preserved moss that require no maintenance, watering, or sunlight (they look alive, but they are not). They are a great way to bring nature into indoor environments and offer a range of benefits. In this blog post, we'll look at how moss walls transformed a corporate office space.
The Challenge
The corporate office space we'll be discussing is a large, open-plan area with minimal natural light. The space was quite sterile and lacked personality. The company wanted to create a more welcoming and inspiring environment for employees and visitors alike while reflecting their global footprint. They wanted to create a space that would promote well-being and creativity.
The Solution
The solution was to install a large moss wall at the far end of the open-plan space. The moss wall was made up of preserved moss in different shades of green, creating an effect of movement and flow. The moss wall added warmth and natural texture to the space.
The Results
The moss wall had an immediate impact on the office space. It became a focal point of the room, drawing the eye and adding interest to an otherwise bland area. The wall also helped to absorb sound, creating a more peaceful and calming environment.
But the benefits of the moss wall didn't stop there. Research has shown that exposure to nature can have a range of benefits for our well-being, including reducing stress, improving mood, and increasing creativity. The moss wall brought a touch of nature into the office space, providing employees with a connection to the natural world and promoting their well-being.
The moss wall also had an impact on the company's brand. By creating a unique and visually striking feature in their office space, the company demonstrated its commitment to creativity, innovation, and well-being. The moss wall became a talking point among employees and visitors alike, helping to build a sense of community and pride in the workplace.
Conclusion
Moss walls are a great way to bring nature into indoor environments and promote well-being and creativity. They offer a range of benefits, from absorbing sound to reducing stress and improving mood. In this case study, we've seen how a moss wall transformed a corporate office space, adding interest, warmth, and personality to an otherwise sterile area. The moss wall became a focal point of the room and helped to promote the company's brand values of creativity and well-being. If you're looking to transform your own office space, a moss wall could be just the solution you need.
