Teamsport Karting
Docklands, London
Design partners: Client Direct, Spacestor
This indoor go-karting experience centre was a little different to our usual office setting but we absolutely loved it! Believe it or not, the planting shown here is all replica – we think it looks fabulous with the joinery, which is fully mobile by the way, as it’s on castors, making this a really flexible space. We also used lots of trailing replica on this project – it was very effective at toning down the garage-like feel of the space.

We installed several nature walls in this project, featuring bespoke designs of preserved mixed moss and foliage. The preserved displays in the joinery on the stairs look particularly good, echoing the larger wall behind, and are very practical and low maintenance. We also used panels of preserved planting to define some smaller breakout spaces.

We installed a live planting scheme in this project with lots of table top plants in pots matched to the brand colours. They add vibrant pops of colour throughout the space.

An unusual exterior scheme for us, on a windy and exposed viewing balcony. Nothing phases our install team though! Troughs were firmly fixed and base-weighted. We used fire rated replica planting and bamboo – the trick here was to enhance the look and feel of the balcony without taking up too much space.

This project shows how effective trailing replica can be when creating a hospitality space. Trailing replica always looks great framing a coffee bar area, and our EnviroGrids make this very easy to do. It looks even better when combined with lighting and, because it’s replica, it’s very low maintenance. Even the floor standing plants are replica here, but you wouldn’t know it, looking at the photographs!

This is a lovely example of a bespoke replica maple tree that needed to be positioned exactly under the statement lighting and so that the pot is invisible to the eye. We do love a tree install!

The huge moss panel installed in this project is one of our new completely fire-rated systems. All the component parts, including the moss, are individually fire-rated, and the system as a whole has also passed an individual fire test. Our fire rated systems are perfect if you are working with a building that has particularly stringent fire regulations. This project was very pared back with the moss panels and sleek timber joinery with built-in live planting – the plants were literally part of the furniture!

This co-working and events space really ticks a lot of trendy design boxes, if we say so ourselves - statement lighting, squishy leather seating, subway tiles and a knockout moss wall! This was custom designed by our team and features mirror cut outs and a swathe of live planting running along the length of the seating area.
Let’s get started in 2025!
