greening Elho’s workplace
Located in Tilburg, this project was commissioned by Elho and designed by Beyond Space. MOSS introduced greenery to enhance interior spaces, creating a welcoming atmosphere for employees and visitors.
telling a story through design
The renovation of the Elho office and factory is about telling the story of the company. Themes such as family, circularity, sustainability, creativity, trends, and history were the inspiration for the design of the green design. In total there are 5 large gardens integrated into the building with each garden telling an unique story.
Plants as symbolic features
For Elho, we presented a planting concept that emphasized their family-oriented company values of meaningful and supportive work, focusing on plants that represented optimism, diversity, trends, and historical concepts.
A garden of philodendrons as a family symbol
Upon entering, two meeting rooms filled with greenery set the tone. As a family-owned business since 1964, Elho embodies this theme in both spaces. One room features a cohesive selection of Ficus plants, while the other is dedicated to a variety of Philodendrons, symbolizing the strength of family bonds.
An ancient garden for a multi-generational business
The board room was designed to represent the long history of Elho, and the longevity of family bonds. Elho is a family business passed down for multiple generations, and we symbolized this passing of time in the ancient garden. This is composed of a selection of plants that represent the origin of modern plant species millenia ago.
A trendy, long centerpiece
The impressive 27m2 long table on the work floor was designed as a sound barrier and space divider, emphasizing length and height. It was also used as an inspiration piece for Elho workers, to motive creative work. It was based on the new trend of jungle madness creating a lush and green environment.
