Sometimes you have to wait for good things, and when the project is unique, it’s even worth it! Some time ago, we came up with the idea of creating a place where people could spend time surrounded by greenery. We asked the best designers in the country to create a vision of the Olivia Business Centre Garden. Malinowski Design Urban & Landscape and BXB Studio won our competition with the concept of a “green-blue archipelago”. We worked on the project for over a year, creating new variants of the garden, and finally – thanks to the work of an interdisciplinary team – a version was created that we could test with you.
Together with SHOPA Design & Strategy, we conducted Design Thinking workshops. We also had hundreds of meetings and conversations with you, and then we created prototypes of the garden together, which we tested with you on the patio and in the lobby of Olivia Star. We have adapted the final project to your needs. We have increased the number of relaxation places by 40% and the number of plants by as much as 30%. You chose the name of this place!
We are preparing the Garden for you!
Before the plants arrived in Olivia, we needed a moment to test advanced ventilation, air conditioning, lighting and irrigation systems. We wanted to make sure that these magnificent specimens would take root and soon be able to please the eyes of Olivia Residents, who would be the first to enter the Olivia Garden in Olivia Star.
In Olivia, you can really feel that #greeniscoming!
- then for you there will be nearly 4 thousand plants as many as 150 species
- 40 gigantic, over 7-meter-tall trees
- we plant greenery on 4 continents: Africa, South America, Australia and Asia
- including fruiting trees, plants with fragrant flowers and aerial roots
- there will be benches, cushions and other unusual places to relax for you
- You can sit on a mezzanine, for example, like in a tree house
- You will also visit a bar with exotic cocktails and oriental healthy menu…
Did you know that:
- an increase in green areas by 1 hectare within 300 m of the place of residence increases life satisfaction by as much as 8% (after “Applied Geography”)
- researchers from the University of Plymouth have shown that even passively observing greenery has health benefits, as it reduces stress (after “Health & Place”)
- Researchers in Exeter, led by Dr Ian Alcock, say that people who move to greener urban areas experience significant and long-lasting improvements in their mental health (Environmental Science & Technology).
- The World Health Organization (WHO) constantly emphasizes the positive impact of greenery on our well-being, mental and physical health. Green urban spaces improve air quality, reduce noise levels, and lower temperatures. Most importantly, they have a positive effect on improving interpersonal relationships.
