Designers try to provide workers with relaxing and pleasant surroundings, inspire a fresh enthusiasm into the culture and give the opportunity to take a break.

Below are 5 of the worlds best office designs with plant displays. In all, the use of interior plants in virtually any space results in an exceptional experience for the users. For more inspiration, visit our Gallery.

Recreating the relaxed Australian coastal vibe was the aim of Evoke Projects in this office design.

A real emphasis on branding was implemented throughout the office design with the slogan ‘you should be here’ featuring across multiple applications.

The impression created by this collaboration area green wall logo is different for everyone – but one thing is the same.

Ampersand – Soho, London.

Certainly a stunning feature in the centre of the building, the four-storey Living Staircase gets its name from the plants that grow on top of the balustrades.

Every element of the staircase is designed to relate to the people using it, providing a dynamic centrepiece for the Ampersand scheme.

Everlane Shoe Park – New York.

Not strictly an office, but still an exceptionally creative design – a plant-filled temporary retail space for online store Everlane.

The tropical plants contrast with the concrete architecture of the existing building, and the result is an environment that is tranquil yet exceptional. Visit Everlane’s website for a look at this masterpiece of creativity: https://www.everlane.com/shoe-park.
