A workplace experience shaped by nature

Creating an inviting, uplifting experience was central to the client's vision for their new London workspace – an environment where guests feel instantly welcomed and employees feel supported, energised, and connected. Vantage Spaces played a key role in realising this ambition through a carefully curated biophilic scheme.

‍

Statement trees bring a sense of calm and presence, richly textured joinery planting softens social and collaborative areas, and deep‑green variegated displays provide an immediate connection to nature. Every touchpoint is enhanced through greenery, helping to shape a sophisticated, hospitality‑influenced environment where wellbeing and atmosphere can take centre stage.

First impressions

Visitors arrive at an elegant reception anchored by a large bronze desk – a striking focal point, seamlessly embellished with planting by our biophilic design team. Plant displays frame the space with warmth and texture, offering a subtle preview of the greenery woven throughout the workplace. Metallic accents continue into breakouts and furnishings, while bespoke pots – created in stone‑finish textures ranging from rough to smooth – were tailored to each area for aesthetic cohesion.

Planting that enhances the everyday

Deep‑green planters integrated into seating joinery strengthen the connection to nature across touch‑down zones and social spaces. Tree‑like species introduce height and interest, while larger‑leaved varieties animate open areas with movement and variation. The planting mirrors the high‑end material palette, reinforcing the sense of comfort and quality that defines the workspace of the client’s London teams.

“Vantage Spaces has been our long term partner, and we are delighted to continue working with them on our new office. The professionalism demonstrated by their design, installation, and maintenance teams has been outstanding. They continuously strive to ensure that every plant enhances both the aesthetic and functional qualities of our workplace. Their dedication and attention to detail have greatly elevated our environment and the overall employee experience.”

Supporting the client’s vision with integrated biophilia

‍
Vantage Spaces delivered a biophilic scheme that seamlessly complemented the sophisticated, hospitality‑led fit‑out, ensuring the planting enhanced both the visual identity and the overall atmosphere of the workspace. Our team collaborated closely with the client and Gensler to select planting that elevated the guest journey and supported everyday employee wellbeing. In addition, Vantage Spaces introduced the clienet to a trusted partner for large‑scale flower displays to further enhance the striking reception environment. Together, these contributions helped shape a cohesive, nature‑rich experience that aligned perfectly with the ambitions of the project.

Final outcome

A high‑end, experience‑led workplace in the heart of London, enriched by a nature‑centred planting scheme that elevates wellbeing, ambience, and daily interactions for staff and visitors. This project also strengthened the long‑term partnership between Vantage Spaces and the client, paving the way for continued collaboration.
