Project Description
Cymbiotika
OVERVIEW
When you manufacture natural supplements, you need an office to match. Cymbiotika approached us to transform their headquarters to help portray the organic lifestyle they promote. With both parties having a love of greenery, this partnership was a no-brainer.
CHALLENGES
- Create a plant solution for multiple locations throughout the office including an 18ft high concrete support wall, large logo wall, two indoor pergolas, support beams, and several plant dividers.
- Design should promote health and wellness to match the Cymbiotika brand.
- Solution should also evoke the look and feel of a lush, rainforest jungle.
- Needed to meet tight deadline for company launch event.
PROCESS
- Worked very closely with client to create the rainforest atmosphere they were looking for.
- Directed client to wrap entire support wall with faux vines, plants, and moss to create a cascading, waterfall effect.
- Designed all panels in sections prior to installation and applied touch ups on-site.
- Strategically chose different textures and vibrant pops of purple to give a natural contrast.
- To achieve a dripping effect, designed logo wall to have an organic arrangement of sheet moss with faux plants spilling over the top.
- Indoor pergola would be covered in faux plants to create a tropical greenhouse so employees could feel surrounded by a jungle.
- Selected low-light tolerant plants with large-leaves, such as bird of paradise, for potted dividers to create division in the work area.
RESULTS
This project presented a challenging scope and pushed us to new creative limits in all stages of the job. We’re proud to have transformed this indoor office into an outdoor oasis using biophilic design.
- To meet deadline, employed a crew of 12 members and worked nights in order to meet launch event.
- Utilized scissor lift to access 18ft high support wall.
- Cymbiotika employees truly feel energized, as though they are operating in a tropical paradise.
