Bringing biophilia to Austin, texas
Located in the Colorado Tower in Austin, Texas, Miro’s new office was designed by M Moser Associates, with MOSS responsible for the green design. Building on a previous collaboration in Amsterdam, MOSS was tasked with creating lush landscapes indoors and out.
Native planting for resilient biodiversity
The indoor design includes modular, standard, and integrated planters to ensure optimal green impact in the space. These ensure flexibility within the space, as the modules are easily transported and installation on site. The outdoor design encourages biodiversity and attracts pollinators, while reducing water demand.
working with local biodiversity
Outdoor terraces were designed as multifunctional landscapes for working, socializing, and relaxing, featuring native Texas grasses, shrubs, and drought-tolerant plants.
