The quality of the green spaces for Simpson Grierson saw this project win international honours for biophilic design.

These inspired green spaces help promote creativity and collaboration, while sharpening concentration.

When moving to prestigious new premises at 40 Bowen Street, Simpson Grierson saw the opportunity to use nature to help its people thrive. Outside In delivered a response that prioritises nature in the space. Collaborating with Warren and Mahoney, our award-winning greenery highlights the interior design.

Over 200 beautiful plants were selected by our experts and layered throughout Simpson Grierson.

Inspiring nature is weaved across this Pōneke Wellington workspace. Four bespoke and handcrafted moss artworks inset into the ceiling create an immediate impression when entering the office. They signal the quality of the greenery that lies beyond the public areas. Planting creates a restful presence and has been expertly designed to encourage health and wellbeing. Greenery delineates the different working areas, while custom plant troughs and plant tambours add privacy and ambience. The tactility of the green spaces complements the custom fit-out and furnishings within Simpson Grierson. Our use of biophilic design makes this a place where people can thrive.

Handmade freestanding planters in warm grey are strategically positioned throughout the workplace. These complement the interior décor and colour scheme, adding eye-pleasing points of interest. Our experts produced a unique prototype solution to transform structural beams within two meeting rooms. Using custom integrated clamps, we fixed pot planters along the length of the beams and filled these with lush, trailing specimens. Vibrant greenery creates texture, imparts colour, enhances staff wellbeing – and makes this a space that Simpson Grierson can be proud of. Outside In also created the greenery design for other areas of the building including the 40 Bowen Street atrium and Generator Bowen Campus.
