Before and after: a hotel lobby with biophilic design
How a hotel's first impression changes when nature enters the space. A real case, from before to after.
The lobby is the first thing a guest sees, and it sets the tone for the whole stay. A cold, correct space informs; a space with nature welcomes.
The starting point
Before the intervention, the lobby did its job but said nothing. Fine materials, good light and, even so, a sense of transit: a place you pass through, not one you stay in.
What nature changes
By introducing living pieces and stabilized moss, the same space begins to hold people. It is not an opinion: many studies link indoor greenery with lower stress and longer stays.
Beyond the aesthetic
Stabilized nature keeps its look for years and needs no watering or direct light — decisive in a hotel that runs around the clock. The material does the work; the team, none.
