Biomimicry Workplace Facilities
Biomimicry Architecture & Organic Design
‘When searching for genuinely sustainable building design and technology – designs that go beyond conventional sustainability to be truly restorative – we often find that nature got there first. Over 3.5 billion years of natural history have evolved innumerable examples of forms, systems, and processes that can be applied to modern green design.’ – ‘Biomimicry in Architecture’ , Michael Pawlyn, 2019
On the right are some references of a future geology company office building distribution. The construction material is recycled plastic, which is stronger than steel. The building is perched on top of a mountain and blends naturally into the environment, allowing the geology team to take samples and analyze them in the lab at any time.
Communal Discussion & Meet-up Space (informal)
The communal space for discussions and meet-ups within the building combines natural elements with modern design to create an inviting atmosphere for collaboration and creativity.
The area has a circular seating arrangement in the center with live plants, comfy seats, and materials such as wood and stone. There are large windows that let in natural light, along with a green wall and vertical gardens that offer a peaceful connection to nature. The space is meant to encourage informal meetings, brainstorming sessions, and get-togethers while also fostering a strong sense of community and well-being among colleagues.
3D Scanning Station
The 3D Scanning Studio within the workplace is a high-tech facility that utilizes cutting-edge technology to capture precise and detailed digital models of natural objects and materials.
The studio is equipped with advanced 3D scanning equipment, lighting, and software to create accurate and detailed models of natural forms, enabling architects and designers to incorporate organic shapes and patterns into their work. The studio is also designed with an emphasis on sustainability, featuring energy-efficient lighting, insulation, and ventilation systems, to minimize its environmental impact.
Employee Well-being Centre
The Employee Well-being Centre is a serene and inviting space designed to promote physical and mental health among employees. The center features a variety of facilities, including a fitness studio, meditation room, massage therapy room, and a lounge area with healthy food and beverage options.
The space is designed with a biophilic approach, incorporating natural materials such as wood and stone, along with large windows that provide ample natural light and views of greenery. The center is also designed with an emphasis on sustainability, featuring eco-friendly materials and systems that reduce energy consumption and minimize the environmental impact. The Employee Well-being Centre is intended to foster a culture of wellness, balance, and productivity, while enhancing employee morale and job satisfaction.
