5 key facts about this project
The Biophilic Microspace presents a thoughtful response to the evolving needs of home offices. As more people work from home, creating a productive environment is increasingly important. This design integrates ergonomic principles with natural elements, fostering a workspace that promotes focus and comfort. The overall approach centers on the idea that a healthy connection to nature can enhance well-being in everyday life.
Framework and Plant Integration
The structure of the Biophilic Microspace is built using metal tubes. These tubes serve two key roles: providing support and allowing for an irrigation system. By incorporating continuous planting, the workspace is transformed into a refreshing green environment. This integration not only adds visual depth but also improves air quality, making the workspace more inviting and beneficial for its users.
Water Management System
At the core of this workspace is a water tank, strategically placed at the bottom of the planting structure. This tank is designed to be extendable, ensuring convenient refilling. An electric pump within the framework distributes water, maintaining the plants effectively. This system reduces the risk of overwatering, creating an ideal moisture level that supports plant health.
Use of Fabric Pots
Fabric pots are an essential feature of the design, offering an effective solution for plant growth. These pots help retain water while allowing for proper drainage and aeration. This prevents issues commonly associated with typical pots, such as root damage. The breathable fabric supports strong root systems and enhances the overall health of the plants while contributing to the workspace's aesthetic.
Interior Design Elements
The interior design incorporates wooden elements, creating a warm atmosphere that complements the greenery. This choice of material aligns with the natural theme, enhancing both comfort and structural strength. Each detail is carefully considered to balance visual appeal with practicality, ensuring that the workspace remains inviting and functional.
A hanging plant, Lepismium, tops the structure, adding a final touch of greenery. This choice symbolizes the design’s commitment to merging functionality with nature, enriching the overall experience of the workspace.
