contrasting technology and nature
CBRE handled spatial planning and architecture, while MOSS was responsible for integrating greenery across five floors. The vision was to harmonize sleek digital aesthetics with wild nature elements.
Designing a Futuristic Green Universe
Our work on this project included floor-recessed tropical gardens, overhead hanging basins, pink-hued grow-light farms, and green curtain walls. The natural elements juxtapose the studio’s digital world-building.
Digital Meets Botanical
The concept was inspired by anime, utopian sci-fi, and the surreal imagery of video game landscapes. We blurred the lines between the natural and the imagined with mirrored walls, geometric planters, and climbing plants to create abstract common areas to reflect Guerrilla Games’ approach to visual storytelling.
considering the environment
We included low-maintenance plant species, integrated smart irrigation systems, and maximized use of natural light to reduce energy usage. Indoor gardens and air-purifying plants contribute to employee well-being while minimizing environmental impact.
