The office is making a comeback, but as you’ve never seen it before. Workspaces are bigger, brighter, bolder, and biophilia is playing a central role in making the office a destination worth travelling in for.
The competition for talent is fiercer than ever, and today’s workforce is looking beyond salary, for employers who value wellbeing, balance, and healthy, productive work environments.
Aspirational building standards such as Fitwel, WELL and SKA all recognise that air quality has a direct effect on health and wellbeing, and plants play a central role in their schemes.
Research by NASA scientists has proved that plants have the ability to purify the air we breathe, by removing CO2 and harmful VOCs such as benzene and formaldehyde.
People are instinctively drawn to nature, and being near it has wonderful restorative powers. Being close to biophilia in an office environment has been shown to reduce stress and improve mental wellbeing.
Nature and biophilia have the ability to boost cognitive function and creativity. Research shows planted environments can improve creativity scores by as much as 15%.
Designers and architects have switched onto the power of biophilia because it has the ability to completely transform a space, softening an overall design and providing a finished look.
Investing in biophilic design can enhance a brand by showcasing its commitment to employee wellbeing, sustainability and innovation, making a company more attractive to top talent and clients.
Biophilic design can be modular, adapting seamlessly to evolving workspaces. Planted furniture, mobile ‘green’ screens and freestanding specimens present endless possibilities for agile working.
We offer several plant leasing and maintenance options to cater to our clients' diverse needs. Our all-inclusive lease with maintenance package is currently the most popular choice among clients. However, we also offer the option for clients to purchase office plant displays outright and have us maintain them. Our flexibility enables us to work with whatever option suits our clients best. We understand that choosing between renting or buying indoor office plants can be challenging, but our team of experts can explain how each option works and advise accordingly, ensuring that our clients make an informed decision.
Renting your office plants also means that you’ll be leaving the care of them to professional experts, who know how to look after them. Caring for live office plants isn’t always as easy as you may think, especially in a dark and concrete office with limited natural light.
That’s why our plant specialists offer ongoing care, and will water and maintain the biophilia in your work space to keep them pruned and in top condition. Our specialists know the ins and outs of taking care of living biophilia, and have the knowledge to identify any plant problems or issues that might arise.
Here at Vantage, we’re passionate about planting design, and its power to create spaces where people love to be. Of course, we all have our favourite projects, so we asked our team to share their most memorable planting schemes and stand-out features.
Wherever you are in the UK, transforming a workspace through the power of planting is easy with Vantage, with a choice of payment pathways. We provide a complete service in easy steps, from creating an initial design, right through to installation and any aftercare required.
