108 Cannon Street

Creating a well-being workspace with a difference

108 Cannon Street is not your typical office space. It was designed with key sustainability credentials and employee well-being at its forefront. 108 Cannon Street has been reimagined it includes a stunning new reception, rooftop terrace and beautifully designed workspace.

Back in 1183, Cannon Street, London was known as Candelewrithstret and was originally home to candle makers, also known as chandlers. A chandler was a craftsman who specialized in producing wax and candles. During this period, candles were made from tallow—a substance rendered from beef or mutton fat—which produced a particularly pungent smell.

The unpleasant odor led to numerous complaints from residents across the city, eventually prompting the chandlers to move their trade outside the city walls.

By the late 19th century, Cannon Street had evolved, becoming a hub for large wholesale warehouses, particularly those dealing in cotton goods and other fabrics.

The design of the new 108 Cannon Street draws inspiration from the building’s rich history, dating back to the 1100s. The color scheme and design were carefully crafted to reflect the area’s heritage, incorporating the textures and tones of wool and cloth—a nod to the 19th-century warehouses that once lined the street.

Soft pastel hues were chosen to honor the original chandlers of Candelewrithstret, subtly connecting the modern space to its historical roots.

The new design features several innovative, sustainable solutions, earning it a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating, WELL ‘Gold’ certification, and an EPC ‘B’ rating. The building has also been recognized as Net Zero enabled, with any remaining carbon emissions offset to minimize its environmental impact.

Planterias Contribution

We selected an exciting range of plants to reflect the design’s inspiration, using a mood board featuring pastel greens, pinks, and reds, along with a variety of textures. We incorporated freestanding pots and troughs, all crafted from natural materials or recycled plastic, to showcase our diverse plant displays. The pots and troughs were chosen in light whites, grays, and pastels to seamlessly complement the building’s new color scheme.

In a further commitment to sustainability, we planted all displays in Ecoponic substrate—a 100% peat-free soil alternative. Ecoponic helps protect vulnerable peatlands, supports wildlife, and reduces carbon emissions. Additionally, it requires less water and helps minimize flies and pests, enhancing both environmental and workplace well-being.

108 Cannon Street : The Future Of Flexible Working

The goal of this project was to create a flexible, sustainable, and modern space where employees can not only work but also enjoy every aspect of their environment. Every feature was thoughtfully designed with a focus on sustainability and innovation, reflecting a commitment to building a space that isn’t just for today—but for the future.

JLL Birmingham

JLL BIRMINGHAM

A workspace with sustainable design and advanced connectivity.

When JLL opened their new office in Birmingham, UK, we had the privilege of contributing biophilic elements to enhance the space. The office is located in a groundbreaking, all-electric, low-carbon building—setting a new standard for sustainable, future-focused workspaces.

The building’s design was driven by a commitment to achieving top-tier sustainability credentials. A key part of the decision-making process was aligning with Net Zero Carbon and well-being requirements. JLL aimed to deliver a best-in-class, energy-efficient office fit-out, with a strong focus on minimizing embodied carbon through a circular economy design strategy.

The goal was to achieve, at minimum, SKA Gold, BREEAM Excellent, and WELL Gold standards—demonstrating a clear dedication to environmental responsibility and employee well-being.

Planteria introduced a diverse selection of biophilic elements to bring nature and vitality into the building. We used a mix of freestanding planters, cabinet-top planters, shelving plants, and a striking overhead planting display—transforming the space into a biophilic oasis that fosters a sense of calm, creativity, and connection to nature.

The building also features spacious collaboration and games areas, quiet zones for employees who need a distraction-free environment, and a large open kitchen. One of the primary goals was to create a space that encourages collaboration—and this has been successfully achieved.

Modus – Bazaar Voice

Bazaar Voice

Planteria was thrilled to collaborate with Modus to supply and install the planting for Bazaar Voice’s new London office.

Strategically located on bustling Oxford Street, Bazaar Voice’s new headquarters is positioned in the heart of London’s prime shopping district. Modus designed the space to seamlessly reflect the essence of this iconic retail hub within the office environment. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, offering stunning views of the city skyline.

Taking inspiration from the vibrant shopping district outside, contemporary retail-inspired details are woven throughout the space—like the replica hanging plants installed by Planteria that adorn the bar. These elements enhance the ambiance, creating a comfortable and familiar atmosphere for both employees and clients.

Exposed brick adds a touch of industrial warmth, providing contrast to the sleek, modern workspace. The bar’s distinctive curved shape in the tea-point area mirrors Bazaar Voice’s logo, subtly reinforcing the brand’s identity and fostering a sense of community. Shelving lined with greenery maximizes space while seamlessly integrating nature into the environment.

ENDAVA

In collaboration with the design and fit-out company Area,

Planteria had the privilege of transforming Endava’s London offices into a vibrant biophilic oasis.

Drawing on our expertise in plants and planters, we curated a stunning selection of greenery that seamlessly complemented Area’s visionary design, enhancing the office’s atmosphere while promoting employee well-being.

Endava, a global technology company, aimed to create an inspiring office space that encourages creativity, productivity, and a connection with nature. To bring this vision to life, they partnered with Area, a leading architectural and interior design firm known for its innovative and sustainable design solutions.

Design Concept

Area’s design concept focused on merging the modern corporate environment with the calming presence of nature. They envisioned an office space that would energize employees while offering a sense of tranquility amidst the busy city surroundings.

planteria’s contribution

As a trusted provider of plants and planters with a strong design focus, Planteria played a key role in transforming Endava’s workspace. We carefully selected and integrated plants that complemented the overall design theme, creating a cohesive and inviting environment.

Plant Selection

To complement the warm wood paneling featured throughout the office, Planteria recommended a selection of plants, including the elegant and resilient Ficus Robusta Tineke. These plants not only introduced a refreshing touch of greenery but also blended seamlessly with the wooden elements, creating a sense of continuity and cohesion within the space.

Impressive Planters

Understanding the importance of a cohesive design, Planteria curated a diverse selection of planters that were both stylish and functional. From stone and ceramic to hessian planters, each container was carefully chosen to complement the office’s color scheme and enhance the overall aesthetic.

Locker Top Planting

The locker tops presented a unique opportunity for creative planting displays. Planteria introduced a mix of striking Monstera Adansonii, elegant Satin Pothos, air-purifying Aglaonema, and vibrant Calathea Freddie plants. This carefully curated selection not only elevated the office decor but also contributed to a healthier indoor environment by improving air quality and supporting employee well-being.

Employee Well-Being

Numerous studies highlight the positive impact of greenery on employee well-being. With the addition of abundant, lush foliage, Endava’s workspace became a calming retreat, fostering a healthier work-life balance and boosting overall job satisfaction for employees.

Planteria is proud to have played a role in transforming Endava’s London offices into a vibrant and inspiring workspace.

The successful collaboration between Planteria, design firm Area, and Endava resulted in a seamless integration of architecture, interior design, and greenery—setting a new benchmark for modern office spaces.

By thoughtfully selecting and strategically placing a variety of plants and planters, we created an environment that not only looks stunning but also fosters creativity, boosts productivity, and supports the well-being of Endava’s employees.

Anomaly

Anomaly is a ‘new model’ agency that goes beyond creating ads—they aim to solve real business challenges. With offices in major global hubs, their team of creatives is dedicated to breaking the status quo. As an award-winning group of progressive, diverse thinkers, they needed an office space that reflected their innovative spirit.

To revitalize their London offices, Anomaly partnered with Planteria Group. Collaborating with Rainbow Designs, we embarked on a journey to transform their workspace into an inviting biophilic oasis. The result is a space that inspires creativity, fosters well-being, and aligns with their forward-thinking vision.

This case study highlights the successful partnership between Anomaly and Planteria.

Client: Anomaly
Planting Design, Install & Maintenance: Planteria Group
Furniture Design: Rainbow Designs
Location: London

Working alongside Rainbow Designs,

Anomaly set out to create a dynamic and stimulating workspace for their employees. Planteria took the lead in designing and installing a planting scheme that not only enhanced the visual appeal of the office but also delivered natural benefits to support employee well-being.

Design Implementation

The design concept centered around using lush green plants paired with bold, textured planters to create a distinctive and engaging office environment. The combination of vibrant foliage and carefully selected planters helped transform the space into a workplace that feels fresh, inviting, and creatively inspiring.

Impressive textured planters

Biophilic design goes beyond simply adding plants—it’s about integrating natural elements that engage the senses. One effective way to achieve this is through the use of textured planters.

For Anomaly’s workspace, we selected planters crafted from natural materials such as stone, ceramic, and hessian. These materials introduced a tactile element to the design, reinforcing the connection to nature while adding depth and character to the office environment.

Trailing Scindapsus plants around the stairwell

The stairwell, a prominent feature within the office, provided a perfect opportunity to introduce a natural touch.

We incorporated trailing Scindapsus plants along the handrails, adding a sense of movement and vibrancy to the space while enhancing the connection to nature throughout the office.

Shelving planting with smaller plants

Another key aspect of the project involved making the most of the available shelving space. We arranged smaller plants on the shelves, creating mini-green oases throughout the office.

This approach not only introduced more greenery but also optimized vertical space, adding depth and dimension to the overall design.

Outcomes and Benefits

The integration of plants and planters completely transformed Anomaly’s London offices, providing a range of benefits to the workspace and its occupants:

A brilliant place to work

Anomaly is defined by its team of progressive, diverse thinkers who are always seeking something different. Their office design needed to reflect that spirit. Planteria helped bring this vision to life, creating a distinctive, welcoming environment that not only supports current employees but also helps the company stand out to potential talent.

Improved well-being & productivity

Interior plants have been proven to enhance well-being and reduce stress levels. After all, we spend, on average, 30% of our waking hours in the workplace. By incorporating natural elements, employees at Anomaly can feel more connected to nature—boosting creativity and promoting a sense of tranquility throughout the office.

Positive aesthetics & brand identity

Incorporating plants and visually appealing planters not only enhances the aesthetics of the space but also aligns with Anomaly’s brand identity of creativity, innovation, and pushing boundaries. The biophilic design makes a bold statement to clients and visitors, reinforcing the company’s forward-thinking approach.

The collaboration between Anomaly, Rainbow Designs, and Planteria successfully brought Anomaly’s vision to life. The result is a vibrant, green oasis that inspires and energizes employees, with a thoughtfully designed planting scheme that blends nature and contemporary design in perfect harmony.

By embracing biophilic design, the space nurtures creativity and supports employee well-being. The impact is clear—the photographs tell the story, illustrating the transformative power of plants in the workplace.

As Anomaly continues to thrive in their revitalized office, this project stands as an example of how biophilic design can elevate any workspace. Incorporating plants and planters isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating an environment where people feel connected, motivated, and refreshed.

Planteria is proud to have partnered with Anomaly and Rainbow Designs on this exciting project. We look forward to future collaborations and the opportunity to design more inspirational spaces.

Legal & General

LEGAL & GENERAL

Attracting staff back to the office with healthy spaceS

Our project at Legal & General’s headquarters in the City of London is a perfect example of how a workplace can be transformed through well-designed and thoughtful planting.

Like many companies, Legal & General wanted to attract its workforce back into the office after Covid and the resulting ‘work from home’ revolution.

There’s been a permanent shift towards hybrid working, with employees wanting more from their workplaces than just a place to do business. More and more people now recognise the difference between healthy and unhealthy offices and the importance of wellbeing at work.

Getting ahead of this change was particularly important for Legal & General with its flagship building, so the company decided to incorporate an extensive indoor planting scheme as part of an overall refurbishment.

Covid also revolutionised something else, and that’s people’s attitudes to nature. As a way of coping with stress or poor health, and to pass the time when we had to distance ourselves socially, many of us went out into nature and discovered how restorative it is for our minds and bodies to surround ourselves with plants and trees. People discovered the value of biophilia (love of natural life), some for the first time.

Again, L&G recognised that and wanted to give their workforce and visitors an environment that would make a lasting difference to their health and happiness, and help them feel connected with the natural world.

How Planteria created a healthy workplace for L&G

L&G asked us to design a scheme reflecting their company values and their motto of “creating a better tomorrow together.” These values are about bringing people together and about environmental sustainability. The project gave us a fantastic opportunity to showcase not only our plant and design knowledge, but also our understanding of branding and branded spaces, and the importance of using physical space to tell people who you are.

To begin with, there were almost no plants in the building. So L&G asked us to design and plant up displays throughout – both on the refurbished floors and in those where refurbishment wasn’t required.

PLANTS THAT ENHANCE THE L&G BRAND

We used an exciting selection of plants to echo the company’s branding and interiors, one of the major ones being Schefflera arboricola or ‘the umbrella tree’ in different varieties. This evokes the famous L&G umbrella logo in a clever yet subtle way.

We created a palette of plant colors inspired by the red, yellow, blue, and green in the L&G umbrella.

Varieties such as the reds of the Aglaonema ‘Cherry’ and Aglaonema ‘Crimson Love’, the yellows of the Dracaena ‘Lemon Lime’ and Aglaonema ‘Key Lime’, the blue-green of Polyscias ‘Fabian’, and the true greens of Monstera deliciosa or Howeria forsteriana (kentia palm).

Our containers, a combination of free-standing plant pots and wall-mounted displays, are made from natural materials or recycled plastic. We used some in a fresh white to allow the plants to speak for themselves, while others picked out the brand colors and blended with the interior joinery, furniture, and carpets. Using different shapes like this elevates plants to features in the space, drawing the eye and adding interest as well as a sense of calm.

In a further push for sustainability, we planted all our displays in ecoponic substrate, a 100% peat-free soil substitute. Ecoponic substrate helps protect our vulnerable peatlands and wildlife, and reduces carbon emissions. It also uses less water and reduces flies and pests.

Legal & General: a place where people want to be

The effect of this project was to create a captivating plant haven in an otherwise functional workplace – a place staff genuinely wanted to return to. Not only does the scheme bring the workforce back together in an attractive, healthy environment – but it also demonstrates the company’s drive towards nature connection and sustainability, showing they mean what they say with “creating a better tomorrow together.”

The use of natural materials and earthy tones throughout the space provides a neutral base, while the incorporation of biophilic elements creates a cohesive and harmonious design. The architects utilized biophilic design principles to connect employees with nature, resulting in a space that promotes a sense of calm, relaxation, and inspiration.

In conclusion, we are thrilled to have been a part of the design process for JAB Holding Company’s office, which exemplifies the best of biophilic design. Our contribution of plants and living walls helped create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere that fosters well-being, creativity, and productivity.
