A GIANT TERRARIUM

A GARDEN, INSIDE!

MANY PEOPLE FEEL FREE, RELAXED AND INSPIRED WHEN IN A GREEN SPACE.
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO ADD A MINITURE GARDEN SOMEWHERE IN THEIR HOME, THESE ARE CALLED TERRARIUMS'.  THEY CAN BE MADE IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, USING MANY DIFFERENT PLANT TYPES.

GREEN SPACES ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE POPULAR WITHIN THE WORK PLACE, GIVING EMPLOYEES A SPACE TO RELAX AND UNWIND DURING THEIR BREAKS.

BELOW IS MY 'INSIDE OUT' MOODBOARD THAT KICK STARTED THE IDEAS FOR THIS ELEMENT OF THE DESIGN


LINKING THE IDEA OF GREEN SPACES AND TERRARIUMS, WE AS A GROUP DEVELOPED THE IDEA OF A SPACE, SOMEWHERE WITHIN OUR DESIGN, TO CREATE AN AREA OF INDOOR NATURE TO INSPIRE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL WORK IN OUR CREATIVE BUILDING.  I CALLED IT THE GIANT TERRARIUM AND THE NAME STUCK.

THE GIANT TERRARIUM HAS A SOLID GLASS ROOF WHICH IS SET INTO THE FLAT GREEN-ROOF OF THE SOROUNDING BUILDING , A WALL OF GLASS LINKS THE GIANT TERRARIUM WITH NATURE ON THE OUTSIDE, AND A WALL OF BIFOLDING GLASS PANELS WILL ALLOW IT TO BE OPENED UP TO THE REST OF THE CREATIVE BUILDING ALLOWING WORKERS TO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE OUT IN NATURE WHILST STILL WORKING AT THEIR DESKS.

THIS IS A VIEW OF THE GIANT TERRARIUMS' GLASS WALL AND GLASS ROOF FROM THE OUTSIDE OF PLONK! HQ
