For over a decade we’ve created extraordinary spaces to work and gather. Places where plants aren’t an afterthought, but the heart of the design.

We work across New Zealand, Australia and abroad, partnering with architects, designers, and developers to bring beautiful ideas and challenging briefs to life — in all spaces, from a small office to a large atrium.

Our work has been recognised globally including top honours at the International Biophilic Design Awards for the last three years. What truly drives us however, is bringing the richness of nature into people’s lives, where it inspires, calms and connects us.

The Biophilic Design Playbook

A modern guide to reconnecting people with nature across workplaces, hospitality, retail, and later-living environments.

What makes Outside In different from other greenery design companies?

We’re a design-led team of designers and engineers specialising in greenery design that’s built into the architecture, not just added on. Our approach to sustainable designing ensures every project looks great, performs well, and lasts. Plus, our people are highly trained to keep your spaces thriving.

What is biophilic design and how does Outside In use it?

Biophilic design is an architectural and interior approach that connects people with nature in the spaces where they live, work and gather. At Outside In, we use biophilic interior design to bring nature indoors in a way that feels authentic, creating spaces that support wellbeing and help people thrive.

Can biophilic design improve wellbeing and productivity in workplaces?

Yes. There’s strong evidence supporting the benefits of biophilic design, from improving focus and productivity in workplaces to aiding recovery in healthcare settings. Our biophilic office design approach helps people feel better, work better and stay connected to nature, showcasing the true biophilia benefits in everyday environments.

What types of commercial spaces do you design for?

We design for a wide range of commercial spaces, including offices, retail environments, healthcare and later living facilities, hotels, foyers and atriums. Whether it’s office plants, retail plants, or hotel plants, we create greenery that enhances wellbeing and design.

Can you work alongside architects, designers, or property developers?

Yes. We collaborate with architects, designers and property developers to bring their vision to life. Our team understands the technical and aesthetic requirements of biophilic architecture and has developed tools to ensure greenery aligns seamlessly with the design intent. Getting us involved at the concept stage helps integrate plants into the structure, supporting both sustainable design architecture and long-term wellbeing outcomes.

Do you offer plant hire or ongoing plant maintenance services?

Yes. We offer plant hire for indoor spaces, which includes regular servicing, care and any necessary plant replacements. We also provide long-term maintenance for commercial exterior landscapes and office plant rental solutions tailored to your space.

Do you create living installations such as green walls?

Yes. We design and build both interior and exterior green walls, along with a range of other custom living installations tailored to your space.

How do I book a consultation with a designer?

Simply get in touch through our Contact page and one of our designers will reach out promptly. We offer no-obligation design consultations to discuss your space and how we can help.

Are there types of projects that you don’t do?

We focus on commercial spaces, so we don’t take on residential, retail, or short-term hire projects.

Can you help with biophilic design for WELL and Greenstar?

Yes. We’ve consulted on many WELL Certified and 6 Star Green Star projects. Our team has developed tools to calculate plant requirements for Green Star ratings, helping clients achieve the maximum points possible through greenery and biophilic design.

Do you provide greenery for small offices?

Yes. We design and install greenery for offices of all sizes. Smaller spaces receive the same level of care and attention as large projects, because well-designed greenery can have a big impact in any environment.

Do you offer warranties or compliance documentation?

Yes. We provide warranties on all our work and stand behind the quality of everything we deliver. For technical projects, we can supply full compliance documentation as required.

Do you have a minimum project size that you work with?

Yes. Our minimum project size is $100 per week for indoor plant hire and maintenance services.

What information do I need to provide to make an enquiry?

You can start by booking a consultation through our Contact page. It’s helpful if you have images or examples of spaces and greenery you like, but we can take care of the rest.
