Nook
An Indoor Park
Design & Engineering Innovation
A room
reimagined.
In 2022, Greenery NYC transformed an unused conference room into a biophilic wellness retreat for a major tech office — an "unplug" space designed to promote employee well-being.
The space was designed parametrically to fit the space, featuring custom curved planters with built-in irrigation powered by Biotic Instruments — minimizing maintenance needs while maximizing botanical impact.
Key Features
Built to
sustain itself.
Integrated Water System
A self-sustaining water system using hidden tanks powers the entire installation. Automated irrigation runs silently behind the scenes, requiring no daily intervention from building staff.
Diverse Plant Selection
Over 30 different species of plants were introduced to the space, creating a rich ecosystem and maximizing biodiversity within the footprint of a single conference room.
Sustainable Low-Maintenance Operation
Automated irrigation combined with precision lighting means plants thrive despite no natural light. The system was designed from the ground up to sustain the natural world while being cut off from it.
Impact & Employee Reception
Results that
speak for themselves.
The project proved that biophilic design can enhance both well-being and efficiency in demanding workplace settings.
