Living walls at the heart of it

Green walls and integrated planting were used throughout the Datacom workplace to create a more immersive and people-focused environment. Layered greenery introduces texture, softness and movement into the contemporary architectural setting, helping balance the scale of the interior spaces. Large-format living walls create strong visual impact while complementing the warm timber finishes and open spatial layout.

Biophilia at every turn

Living planting softens transitional areas and creates moments of visual relief throughout the workplace, encouraging people to gather, pause and connect. The introduction of greenery brings warmth and vitality into the everyday work environment, contributing to a stronger sense of comfort and connection across the workspace.

<Integrated green walls combine layered tropical species and varied foliage textures to create dynamic planting compositions. The greenery responds to changing light conditions and viewpoints, creating a different spatial experience as people move through the environment, establishing a contemporary workplace that feels vibrant, grounded and strongly connected to biophilic design principles.
