Plants have arrived at ATL's new building. With furniture in place and desks and meeting rooms settling in, the space is starting to feel like an office, but one walk around told us something was missing: greenery. So we are preparing a planterior to look after both the mood and the air of our workspace.
The cart came loaded with everything from small pots to tall plants wrapped in plastic, along with potting soil for repotting. Some are still in their packaging, so it will take a little more time before each one finds its place.
Planterior combines the words plant and interior, and means bringing plants in as part of the design of a space. Greenery softens a space that feels clean but a little cold with new furniture and glass partitions, and gives your eyes somewhere to rest when you look up from the monitor. The moisture plants release through their leaves also adds humidity to indoor air that easily dries out. Ventilation and air conditioning remain the foundation, with plants adding comfort alongside them.
Up close, every plant has its own leaf shape and color: schefflera with leaves spread like a palm, spider plants with crisp white stripes, and peace lilies with broad, glossy leaves.
We are now going through the space one area at a time to decide which plant goes where. A sunny window, a busy hall and a meeting room where we sit down with customers each suit different plants. We are choosing mainly plants that are easy to care for, so they can be looked after steadily even on busy days.
Once the plants have settled in, we will share how the space has changed in another update.
