-Where Art & Nature Meet-
Inspired by nature's spectacular scenery, we design custom handcrafted plant environments. We use plant life, natural materials such as rocks, wood, and water in our designs.

PLANT LIFE
AS AN ART FORM
& INTERIOR DESIGN
HUMID is an avant-garde project, the pioneer of Ecosystem design. Ecosystem design, a sibling of Biophilic design, focuses on creating one-of-a-kind natural environments that enhance the Biophilia hypothesis. We fuse natural elements, plant life and water to create an indoor slice of nature. We key in quality design, concepts and ideas so we can offer our customers great aesthetics, calm atmosphere and high level of service.
We believe everybody deserves a green spot to expand the emotional connection with nature.

Why go green?
Biophilic design has become more common in working and living environments in recent years, as researches demonstrate its positive effects on well-being. Plant installations definitely elevate the environment in everything from hotels, shops and restaurants to offices and waiting rooms. Plants help create healthy indoor environments by producing oxygen and absorbing harmful toxins from the air, including electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) when in open-air installations. Plants can also help reduce background noise when strategically placed. Green design has benefits beyond its well-being aspects. It creates a calming atmosphere and a luxurious naturalistic aesthetic.

According to ecopsychology and the biophilia hypothesis, individuals need contact with nature. Studies have shown that bringing plants into a working environment is increasing productivity by 15%. An office with plants helps the workplace become a more enjoyable, comfortable and profitable place. In addition, the excess of nature and natural light in the office has shown that it can contribute to a reduction of sick days. In conclusion, if you simply add natural beauty you can have a positive effect on your mood and self-esteem.

By surrounding ourselves with nature scenes, we not only sharpen and clear our minds but also relax and destress our bodies. Studies have shown that mental or physical problems decrease when exposed to green color and natural environment. Green and earth toned colors tend to be more relaxing and calming; therefore, they are more suited for everyday living environments.
The sound of running water is a part of natural design too. Water features add sound, texture, and movement to the layout and create calming soundscapes. The sounds of water have an energizing effect:
• Lifting up cognitive abilities
• Improving moods
• Increasing focus
• Triggering neurochemical floods in our brains that promote wellness
• Increasing blood flow that ends up relaxing the heart and mind.

“Indoor Air Quality refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants.” (USEPA)
Air pollution is not confined to the outdoors. Indoor air quality can be worse than outdoor air quality. Being in an environment with no fresh air can lead to fatigue, headaches and concentration difficulty. Plants help increase indoor air quality by photosynthesis; they replace carbon dioxide with oxygen by removing the carbon and releasing oxygen. Many plants have an air-purifying effect and can reduce carbon dioxide levels by 10-25% in a location. Plants metabolise viruses, bacteria, organic chemicals and release harmless by-products, eventually they convert toxicants into new plant tissue. Furthermore, plants help filter out chemicals from indoor air that came / were released from for example synthetic furniture items.

In large spaces, poor acoustics can be an issue. Conference areas and similar spaces must have good acoustics to avoid distractions. A proper amount of plants strategically placed will greatly mask noises in a location. Plants’ flexible surfaces break down sound waves and reduce distracting echoes. Location, size, and surface must be considered when choosing which plants to use for maximum acoustic potential in a space.

The five phases
of a layout installation
//01
PHOTO SHOOT
After we choose optimal locations for the installation, we use professional photography and measurements to create a plan that meets your needs. High resolution pictures provide the proper foundation for the next phase.
//02
LAYOUT CONCEPT
Once a suitable base has been established, we engage in brainstorming sessions to develop ideas. The style of the layout is determined by the location, plants, and materials. Once we are satisfied with our concepts, it’s time to get creative.
//03
VISUALIZATION
Based on the photographs, we create three-dimensional computer generated images of plants and materials and combine them together. By doing this, we can visualize the final result. Next we present our designs, including detailed information about the functions.
//04
LAYOUT CRAFT
Once the layout has been decided upon, we begin the construction process. We work with partners for special construction builds if needed. We combine stones, gravel, and wood to create a hardscape and finalize the layout with planting.
//05
MAINTANANCE
We provide ongoing maintenance services to ensure that each type of layout is thriving. We tune the equipment, monitor moisture levels, supply and regulate the nutrients, trim and prune the plants.

The five phases
of a layout installation
01
PHOTO SHOOT
Take photographs and measurements of the actual location.
02
LAYOUT CONCEPT
Conceptualize ideas considering optimal plant growth and aesthetics.
03
VISULALIZATION
Create detailed 3D models to visualize the final design before construction begins.
04
LAYOUT CRAFT
Build the basic hardscape structure and finish the landscape with planting.
05

What is Biophilia and Biophilic Design
Biophilia and biophilic design have become very popular in recent years in the fields of architecture and interior design. We could say that this is more a philosophy, a need of modern man to reconnect with the natural environment than just a decorative trend.
