Oxygen at Work

The new Aveniq office features some of the largest plant islands we have ever greened! 🤩🌱 With over 200 plants placed throughout the office, the majority can be found in two huge built-in Oxygen elements, bringing a natural environment into the workspace. The office was designed by JOP ARCHITEKTEN, who incorporated plenty of natural wood, which, together with the plants, forms the foundation of a biophilic office design. Another special feature can be found in the cafeteria, where hanging plants have been placed on a grid. Thanks to optimal light conditions from the large windows, these plants will thrive and soon cover more and more of the grid. This placement is ideal for high-traffic areas like the cafeteria, as the plants remain undisturbed while still enhancing air quality, which can be monitored through strategically placed sensors.

🌿 Plants and Office Air Quality: Can You Really Spot a Difference? 🌿 When it comes to enhancing indoor air quality, mechanical air regulators provide quick and efficient results. But have you ever considered the natural, lasting impact of plants? While their effects may be more gradual, plants continuously contribute to a healthier and more comfortable office environment. One Example: Thermal Comfort Thermal comfort is just one way the benefits of plants can be observed in the workplace. Our greening projects have shown that plants can positively influence: Temperature Regulation: Vertical plant curtains at window walls help moderate indoor temperatures naturally. Humidity Control: Plants maintain optimal humidity levels through their natural transpiration process, benefiting the entire office ecosystem. 📊 Measuring the Impact: To ensure these benefits are more than just a feeling, we use advanced air quality sensors. These devices monitor key air parameters, including temperature and humidity, allowing our clients to witness the subtle yet powerful effects of plants in real-time. Investing in greenery is more than just a trend—it’s a long-term commitment to the wellbeing and productivity of your employees. #WorkplaceWellbeing #IndoorAirQuality #SustainableOffice #EmployeeWellness #OxygenAtWork

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

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
