We continuously strive to improve our knowledge and contribute to the knowledge within the field of green architecture.
This has led us to set up MOSS Lab which aims to explore, reveal, and unleash the impact of biophilic spaces.

About
MOSS Lab looks into the world of plants and their benefits on the users’ well-being. We are especially interested in the topics that have limited studies to contribute to a healthier urban environment.
We know that we are not alone in this and we believe that collaboration and multidisciplinary partnerships can bring fruitful and innovative results which can revolutionize the way we design with plants.
Aim & method
Since our aim is to bridge the gap between research and design, our research methods not only consist of literature reviews but also experimental research. The combined methods allow us to understand the topic theoretically as well as practically; yielding qualitative data that can be applied to our projects.
“THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS IS TO ATTRACT SMART CREATIVES AND PUT THEM IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN THRIVE AT SCALE.”
