Greenery that sets the tone

The lobby at 4 Graham Street presented an opportunity to create a distinctive arrival experience within a high-profile commercial building. Outside In was engaged to introduce planting that would bring warmth and a genuine sense of welcome to a space used by tenants and visitors every day.Statement trees in substantial planters anchor the ground floor, their forms drawing the eye upward and adding scale and presence to the interior. Layered understorey planting surrounds each specimen, creating depth and density that makes the greenery feel considered and cohesive rather than decorative. The result is an arrival experience that is immediately calm, distinctive and human.

Planting that earns its place

Throughout the lobby and shared areas, planting is used to define zones naturally — creating inhabitable moments within the open floor that feel purposeful without relying on walls or partitions. The greenery complements the architectural palette, with bold tropical forms and rich foliage adding contrast and warmth to the interior finishes.The scale and placement of each planting element was carefully considered to work with sightlines throughout the space, ensuring the greenery enhances the experience from every angle. For Bayleys — New Zealand's largest full-service real estate company — the result is a workplace that reflects the quality of the brand and a building that tenants are proud to arrive at each day.
