When moving to a new build office, MC had a vision for one-of-a-kind greenery that would bring calm to a busy workplace.

As New Zealand’s biggest litigation firm, their vision for the new MC Centre was to incorporate abundant greenery that would celebrate the beauty of the nearby Waitākere Ranges. This client also wanted to connect employees with the natural environment in a space which fostered collaboration, health and wellbeing.

We weaved over 1,600 beautiful plants into MC Centre. It pushed the boundaries of what's possible for commercial greenery.

Collaborating with Jasmax, the greenery by Outside In helped MC achieve a 6-Green Star rating by the New Zealand Green Building Council, along with WELL Platinum Certification. By prioritising biophilic design, the one-of-a-kind workspace has resulted in impressive staff retention rates. It has also proved a drawcard for attracting the best legal talent. The 5,500sqm workspace includes unique temperature-controlled, life-size indoor terrariums. Oxygen levels within the terrariums are elevated and the lighting is subdued to support the indoor planting and rejuvenate people. The project was the first to feature our highly innovative biophilic product, the Forest Floor®.

Created by Outside In, the Forest Floor® allows true-to-life layered planted canopies. Each is uniquely different and they are positioned to form meandering walkways. Their shapes are inspired by the natural world, bringing the beauty of the native forest into MC. The scale of the green spaces provide MC’s people with a sensory experience. Seated nooks encourage collaboration and offer areas for private retreat. Greenery includes hanging plants, wall-mounted moss, custom designed cable droppers with climber plants, freestanding planters and tambour planting. All these elements perfectly work together to emulate the feeling of walking through the New Zealand forest.

"Working with Outside In was an absolute pleasure. They were incredibly easy to collaborate with, always open to ideas, and brought an innovative approach to every stage of the project."
