The task at hand
Northeastern University wanted a sensory immersion environment where local and international students could start their journey when they walked through the door. Northeastern University’s new campus needed to be a dynamic and collaborative learning space like no other.
Client: Northeastern University
Our Services: Replica Hanging Plants, Freestanding Potted Plants and Biophilia Consultation
Design Agency: Workplace Creations
Natural waterside planting
Northeastern University wanted to reflect the surrounding waters, so Workplace Creations had to create a bold design for this forward-thinking campus. Vantage Spaces had the mission to create a biophilic design that aligned perfectly.
“Reflecting on the waterfront was a primary goal of the overall design.”
The design
Reflecting on the waterfront was a primary goal of the overall design. The Vantage Spaces team worked with Workplace creations to hang replica plants off ceilings and windows to mimic the overgrown and dangling biophilia you find by the waterside. This was most visible against the beautiful shimmering feature you first see as you walk into the building.
Not wanting ongoing maintenance on a busy campus, Vantage Spaces worked with the designers to place living potted plants and plant troughs across the campus. We also installed a ParaVert divider between the quiet working area and the noisy corridor for increased privacy and noise reduction.
With a focus on productive biophilia, our design was focused on turning the central collaborative areas into creative areas with natural zones and noise dispersal.
