Oxygen at Work

Join us and take a look around the beautiful Serviceplan Group Switzerland office, one of our projects in the heart of Zurich! 🌿 The House of Communication was enriched with plants to create a vibrant and inspiring workspace. The plants however not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal, but also created a healthy and supportive environment for employees and guests that seamlessly blends the modern design with natural elements. The lush greenery now complements the interior, creating a harmonious balance between the indoor and outdoor worlds. This is especially charming on the first floor, where you can see the green leaves of trees through the office windows.

Do you know about possible humidity issues in your office? 🌡️💧 The right level of humidity is crucial for a comfortable and healthy workspace. Too much or too little can lead to discomfort, health issues, and even impact productivity. But luckily there is even a natural and easy solution to these problems! Plants do not just look nice; they’re natural humidity regulators. When the air gets dry, they release moisture through transpiration, and can help maintain the perfect humidity range of 40-60%. And when there’s too much moisture, they cut back, keeping the balance just right. 🌱 Our latest blog post dives deep into how plants can solve your humidity problems, improve air quality, and create a healthier, happier workspace.

Why do humans love green so much? 🌿✨ Green is more than just a colour — it’s a mood, a vibe, and a powerful tool for our well-being. The colour is often associated with nature, balance, and renewal, and symbolises growth, harmony, and freshness. It’s the colour our eyes are naturally drawn to for comfort and calm, making it especially powerful in spaces where we need to focus and recharge. But here’s where it gets really interesting: The psychology behind green makes it perfect for the workplace. Studies show that green can reduce stress, boost creativity, and even enhance productivity. So, we can easily bring these benefits into our offices— possibly through plants! 🌱 Can you feel these effects when you look at green? #Green #OfficePlants #Psychology #ProductivityBoost #OxygenAtWork © Architecture: blocher partners © Photo: joachim grothus

What do cars and plants have in common? 🌿🚗💨 We might not know the answer, but we do know they look amazing together! 💫 Recently, we had the pleasure of greening the Binelli Group showroom in Zurich. Our team enhanced the space with a variety of vibrant, green plants that perfectly complement the sleek design of the luxurious, shining cars. This greening project aimed not only to add elegance and aesthetic appeal but also to enhance the well-being of clients and employees by bringing the benefits of nature indoors.

Yesterday, our team gathered for another unforgettable team event at the Bächlihof in Jona. 👩🌾🎉 After our quarterly update in the morning, we started our journey to Jona. In a Farmer's Tournament, everyone got to show their skills and practice teamwork in various farm-themed challenges. From tractor races to darts, the competition was surprising and exciting. Congratulations to our winning team, Deborah, Anna, Tom, Arjanit, and Olivier, who proved their skills. 🚜🏆 As the sun set, we enjoyed a nice dinner, during which we had some more wonderful time getting together and sharing stories from our lives. Thank you to everyone who was part of our adventures yesterday; you made this an unforgettable day filled with fun and laughter! 💚✨🌱 #TeamEvent #SummerEvent #CompanyCulture #TogetherWeGrow #OxygenAtWork Jucker Farm AG

Have you talked to your plants today? No? You might want to change that immediately! 🤭🗣️ It turns out it's more than just a quirky habit—there are scientifically proven benefits behind it! Researchers published an article with Frontiers showing that talking to your plants can boost your mental well-being and even contribute to their growth. 🌱✨ They discovered that playing music at the level of a regular conversation (around 70 decibels) triggered specific responses in plants, indicating they do react to sounds. Even more interestingly, the frequency of the sound affected the intensity of these responses—higher frequencies resulted in stronger reactions. 🎶🔊 So, make sure to take a second to check in and chat with your leafy friends! It's good for both you and your plants. 💚 #PlantScience #MentalWellbeing #OfficePlants #OxygenAtWork

A functional greening concept that brings nature into your daily work life? Welcome to ABB’s office! 🤩🪴 Imagine stepping into an office equipped from small plants on shelves and climbing plants as room separators to standalone potted plants seamlessly integrated into the architecture. This green concept and ABB's modern and light office design, featuring beautiful wooden ceiling elements, huge windows, and abundant natural light, complement each other perfectly. Our goal was to create an environment that not only looks beautiful but also feels invigorating and is functional. The lush greenery adds a dynamic touch to the sleek, contemporary aesthetic, fostering a welcoming and energizing atmosphere for employees and guests, while providing privacy, separation and improving indoor air quality.

On today's World Environment day we would like to introduce you to a partner we have been working with since our very early days! 🌱👶 The NGO WeForest 🌿 runs 18 restoration projects and are growing an impressive number of 100 million trees all over the world. We have been supporting one of their projects in Zambia’s Copperbelt with two trees for every plant we place in an office since our first greening. They are partnering with farmers and are also promoting forest-friendly livelihoods like beekeeping, helping local communities as well as nature.
