Plant Designs,

The story behind this design and installation: London, England, U.K.
The initial brief provided by the client was to create
an interior ‘green screen’ across the façade of an
internal feature staircase, using a bespoke mesh/
planter system. As this idea developed, so did the
client’s eye for biophilic design, and hence the
scope for the project. Once we had agreed on the
staircase design, we were soon looking at ways to
incorporate plants into the rest of the office. The
initial concept for the overall office aesthetic was
created by Studiofibre, featuring bespoke furniture
items with integrated planting. Cameo & Partners
were then invited to put together a preliminary
planting plan that would be suitable for the space,
which ended up focusing on a variety of interest-
ing, primarily broad-leaved species. We then joined
the team to offer practical solutions to the concept/
design, advising on the feasibility of certain plant
species, adding further design ideas and eventu-
ally installing and maintaining all plant displays
throughout the office. Once the new displays had
been installed, Plant Designs took on the refurbish-
ment and maintenance of all pre-existing displays
on site (i.e., those supplied by other providers),
recycling and re-using as many existing pots and Close up of wir e f r am es with c limbin g plantin g. This is th e wir e
Close up of wire frames with climbing planting. This is the wire
pots as possible in line with our company’s envi- mesh system that the climbing plants are grown on. They bring
