Project: Tropical, and desert garden

 

MOSS (Makers of Sustainable Spaces) played a pivotal role in the Sustainable Office Design at Joolz, transforming the headquarters into a vibrant, nature-integrated workspace. Collaborating from the early design stages with Space Encounters, MOSS designed and constructed three expansive greenhouses spanning 120m². This led to seamlessly integrated lush tropical plants in the heart of the office.

The innovative greenhouse structures not only enhance the workspace’s aesthetics but also improve air quality, promote well-being, and support a sustainable indoor climate. To ensure long-term plant health and minimize water waste, MOSS engineered a custom-built water basin, allowing the plants to access water as needed. This efficient system optimizes water management while reinforcing the biophilic design principles at the core of the project.

By incorporating advanced climate control, carefully selected plant species, and self-sustaining irrigation, MOSS helped shape a workplace where nature and architecture function in harmony. The Sustainable Office Design at Joolz stands as a model for future-forward office spaces, because it prioritizes both environmental responsibility and employee well-being.
