The Branch hub at Bishop Ranch transforms a corporate social space into a lush indoor garden inspired by California’s natural landscape.

Designed as a place to meet, relax, and recharge, the Branch hub brings layered planting, organic forms, and natural colour palettes into the workplace. The biophilic environment softens the corporate setting, creating a space that feels energising, restorative, and visually engaging while supporting everyday social interaction.

Bespoke free-standing planters shape the space, guiding movement and encouraging connection.

A family of sculptural planters defines circulation and frames social zones throughout the hub. Designed as both furniture and planting containers, their flowing curves echo the contours of the landscape, creating intimate alcoves for pause and conversation. Integrated seating and layered greenery transform the planters into social infrastructure that invites people to gather, linger, and connect.

Innovative craftsmanship and horticultural performance ensure the space remains adaptable and alive over time. Manufactured in New Zealand using advanced furniture-grade finishing techniques, each aluminium planter features seamless compound curves, integrated grow lighting, and water-efficient systems. Photometric modelling ensures every plant thrives, while ergonomic design simplifies ongoing care. The flexible system allows the planters to be reorganised over time, enabling the space to evolve with the needs of the workplace.

Case Study: Bishop Ranch
San Ramon, California
We can functionally change how a space works based on how we reorganise and re-orientate these planters. It’s a flexible system that allows the space to adapt over time. That doesn’t really exist in any other product I’ve seen.
