Swisscom

At Swisscom's office in Zurich West, over 750 plants bring nature into the heart of one of Switzerland's most recognised workplaces. The greenery concept was designed with two clear goals: to fulfil the principles of biophilic design and to make a tangible difference to indoor air quality, tracked in real time by four sensors throughout the building. The concept draws on a rich mix of species, from striking statement plants in individual pots to mobile and fixed greened elements that define and animate the space. A few of the species integrated include Zamiioculcas zamiifolia, a variety of Aglaonemas and Dieffenbachias for colour variation, and Scindapsus Pictus and Philodendron Scandens for depth and dimension. The result is a workplace where nature actively contributes to the health and well-being of everyone in it.
