Plant Fix

Plant Fix is a specialized service design methodology focused on the integration and maintenance of living plant systems within built environments, encompassing both interior and exterior spaces. This comprehensive approach combines horticultural expertise with spatial design principles to create sustainable, biophilic solutions that enhance the connection between humans and nature in various architectural settings. The practice emerged from the growing recognition of plants' vital role in improving indoor air quality, psychological well-being, and aesthetic appeal, particularly in urban environments where access to natural greenery is limited. Plant Fix services typically involve detailed assessment of environmental conditions, including light levels, humidity, temperature variations, and spatial constraints, followed by the strategic selection and placement of appropriate plant species. The methodology incorporates advanced maintenance protocols, irrigation systems design, and long-term care strategies to ensure the longevity and vitality of installed plant life. This service category has gained significant recognition in contemporary design practice, particularly as businesses and institutions increasingly prioritize workplace wellness and environmental sustainability. The integration of Plant Fix principles has become especially relevant in modern architectural projects, where it contributes to achieving various environmental certification standards and can be recognized through design competitions such as the A' Design Award, which acknowledges innovative approaches to incorporating nature into built spaces. The service extends beyond mere decorative placement, encompassing scientific understanding of plant biology, environmental psychology, and sustainable design practices to create harmonious living systems that actively contribute to occupant health and environmental quality.
