Dome
Our dome was initially conceived as an outdoor research laboratory for environmental psychologists to investigate the influence of nature on our health and behaviour. The dome also developed into a venue for live music, lectures, Green Living Library study days, and workshops and events to promote healthy urban living.
The dome was designed in collaboration with the artist Tim Boin of Sober Industries whose body of work is inspired by sacred geometry and its relation to vibration. The dome’s harmonious biophilic design encourages guests to feel relaxed and energised by their environment, while they work, study, learn or play.
The GLL dome is a fully transparent truncated icosahedron, the natural form of the Carbon 60 molecule. The dome’s structure was constructed from Lexan and Accoya to ensure durability.
Organic Garden & Food Forest
We created an organic & pesticide-free garden as an outdoor classroom on subjects including urban gardening, composting and urban wildlife, and as a location for team building events in nature.
Our garden are designed as restorative interactive natural spaces which encourage guests to relax and recharge.
Our Food Forest was created to explore how we can landscape food production into small spaces in an urban environment. By mimicking the diverse natural layers of vegetation in a forest, we experimented with making the most efficient use of our space to produce organic fruit, vegetables and herbs with perennial plants.
