This is Part 2 of a<\/em> 2-part series about plantscaping and biophilic design for restaurants.<\/em> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

As we discussed in Part 1<\/a>, biophilic design is an up-and-coming option when creating a modern foodservice venue. It allows patrons to benefit from the holistic health benefits interacting with nature provides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For restaurants, biophilic design offers competitive advantages<\/a> including lower noise pollution, fresh ingredients, functional dividers or walls, and happier customers. Today, we are looking at real-life examples of biophilic design. We will also discuss some of the creative routes these restaurants took to achieve their green interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxomoco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Michelin-starred Oxomoco<\/a> decided to make the most of their airy high ceilings and giant skylight, they enlisted the help of a biophilic-focused botanical company, Greenery NYC<\/a>, to see what was possible. With their expertise, Oxomoco\u2019s<\/a> sun-drenched space soared to new heights by adding an abundant vine display to the high ceilings and skylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Michelin-starred<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This project, however, required some deep outside-of-the-box thinking to make it sustainable for this Brooklyn restaurant. In the end, the vine display was able to thrive after installing an automated irrigation system<\/a> to support the lush foliage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annabel\u2019s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The secluded garden at Annabel\u2019s<\/a> in London is a sight to behold. Inspired by 18th-century Georgian orangeries<\/a>, the garden is full of lush plants and verdant greenery all year long. The organic shapes produced by trees, plants, and flowers work in harmony within the stricter nature of Palladian architecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret to their success? A whole lot of capital. Annabel\u2019s<\/a> hired steel architects, Waagner Biro<\/a>, to weatherproof the garden by constructing a one-of-a-kind retractable glass roof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
