Biophilic Gallery
The campus journey starts at the main entrance, which is flanked by digital walls showing travel movies and slow-motion travel mood scenes, such as running water or leaves in the wind. It also offers views up a sweeping staircase and green corridor of plants to the light-filled upper floors. Everything about the entrance says “come in and explore the world with us”. The route leads up to the 1st floor meeting point and recruitment, research and learning centres, and fluently continues to the central atrium on the 2nd floor. This bright and vibrant connecting space offers physical and visual relations with all upper office floors.

Greenery NYC worked with the team of the Electric Garden recording studio to create a one-of-a-kind living wall for their new Williamsburg studio. The wall features a custom irrigation and fertilization system that produces lush growth with minimal maintenance. Taking a nod from the interior design, the wall features an eclectic and colorful mix of tropical plants that add to the other-worldly yet comfortable feeling of the space.
