Modern Atrium

Balance between space and greenery

A large atrium requires a well-thought-out green plan that centres around height. The foundation of a successful design lies in the perfect balance between sleek interior materials and natural layering.

Element 1: Large planters

The planters form the solid foundation of the entire design. By opting for large design planters grouped in a fixed arrangement of varying sizes, we introduce natural layering to the space without making it feel cluttered.

• Organic zoning: The fluid, natural shapes of the planters act as friendly barriers. They cleverly divide an open-plan layout into clear zones and direct foot traffic in an effortless manner.
• Sleek materials: Featuring materials like robust concrete-look or powder-coated steel, the planters blend perfectly with the modern architecture and open character of the space.
• Optimal condition: Since plants in an atrium catch a lot of sunlight, these planters offer a generous water buffer. This protects the planting from drying out long-term and ensures a consistently prestigious appearance.

Element 2: Large-leaved eye-catchers

With strategically placed large, tall specimen plants, we elegantly draw the greenery upwards and connect the different floors. These eye-catchers beautifully fill the high space and instantly create a welcoming, natural atmosphere.

• Characteristic large plants: The deployment of large, large-leaved plants, such as the striking Ficus Lyrata and the tropical Strelitzia, guarantees a 'wow effect' upon arrival.
• Airy volume: The enormous leaves instantly provide a lush green filling. Thanks to the bare trunks and the slender, open structure of the plants, they remain easy to see through, keeping the view at eye level completely transparent.
• Healthy climate: The large leaf volume of the plants naturally filters the air, ensuring a pleasant, fresh, and healthy indoor climate.

Element 3: Silk ceiling hangers

To make the overwhelming height of an atrium truly warm and inviting, we actively involve the ceiling in the design with floating, green installations.

• Three-dimensional effect: The generous round hangers featuring premium silk greenery by Emerald break up the emptiness and naturally draw visitors' eyes upwards. The detailed, high-quality finish makes this greenery virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
• Visual connection: By suspending the greenery at various heights, a dynamic connection is created with the plants and planters on the ground floor.
• Sustainable and maintenance-free: These premium silk plants require no care and always retain their natural look, even in the most inaccessible places.

Element 4: Artificial green wall

An impressive vertical green wall breaks up the rigid lines of glass and concrete. It delivers a powerful dose of nature to walls where living greenery is impossible due to a lack of daylight or water connections.

• Natural and colour-fast appearance: The UV-resistant wall by Vistafolia is almost indistinguishable from real plants and offers a rich variety of leaf shapes that will not fade in direct sunlight.
• Acoustic peace: Beyond the visual transformation, the layered structure of the artificial walls subtly helps to break up harsh echoes in the large, open space.
• Certified fire safety: The panels are fully fire-retardant tested and certified according to the strictest international ISO standards.

Element 5: Moss sculptures

A moss sculpture transforms a bare wall into a unique piece of natural art. It is the perfect way to merge nature, design, and brand identity within a space.

• Crafted in our own studio: Each sculpture is fully bespoke and handmade in our dedicated moss studio in Duiven. This guarantees high-end craftsmanship and an eye for the smallest detail.
• Acoustic design: We combine various types of premium moss with natural wood elements. This interplay of layered structures creates a tangible depth effect and effectively absorbs distracting ambient noise in the atrium.
• Endlessly customisable: Because every project is unique, we provide tailored solutions in their purest form. From free-flowing organic lines to sleek corporate logos, virtually any design and colour scheme can be realised.
