After greening Miro’s Amsterdam office and setting out Miro-specific green design standards earlier in 2022, MOSS was impelled to build off the partnership and continue working with Miro and M Moser Associates to bring high-scale nature to the new space in Austin, Texas.
–
The botanical staircase garden adds vibrancy to the space and sets the tone for all visitors. Walking up the staircase, hanging and climbing plants wander around the steel structure permitting the visitor a closer connection to the plants.
–
The two terraces invite visitors to step outside East Texas specimens thrive throughout the seasons. The gardens contain grasses, xeric plantings, bulbs, and flowering shrubs. With the balance of landscape and hardscape, MOSS’s design features a winding path, and plentiful spots for working, socializing, and resting.
–
Taking extreme heat, frost, drought, and sun reflection into account, MOSS studied the site’s conditions with local partners including the Blackland Collaborative and The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center to develop a biodiverse and local species list that strives to attract the surrounding Austin wildlife to the Colorado Tower.
–
Through its many layers from the indoor gardens to the outdoor terrace landscapes, Miro ATX beats with biophilia and honors a recoupling to nature through the office landscapes’ highly abundant and lush variations that accommodate various functionalities to meet the needs of Miro’s workplace.
