Located at the heart of the workspace, the 700m² terrarium provides staff with a space for contemplation, meeting for informal conversation, and to experience the calming and restorative effects of being immersed in nature throughout the working day.
Biophilic design principles have been used throughout the terrarium and workplace with the aim of reducing stress, enhancing wellbeing, and increasing motivation and creativity through connection to the natural environment.
Biophilic design principles reflect humankind’s fundamental connection to the natural world, and the Biophilic Design Awards are presented to those who embrace the patterns of nature to create spaces that provide a strong connection to the outdoors.
Ryan McQuerry, creative director at Outside In, says the organisation is pleased to receive the award alongside Jasmax.
“We love being a part of creating spaces that will improve the way people work, the way they interact with others and the way they feel physically, mentally, and emotionally.
"We hope that more and more businesses see the benefits of biophilic design and adopt it for the welfare of their employees and clients.”
