GRÜNE ERDE - Breathing Headquarters

Eating the Sun


Let us take a look at one possible future: it is plant-based, petroleum-free, socially just and ecologically sound. It is about living and connecting to fellow humans and to our alive environment — to rethink given standards in design, material use, energy usage and bio-climatic design of large structures. How can we think it all together?

As a world-premiere, "climatic and atmospheric plant performance" will be applied on a large scale as a climate, ventilation and cooling concept, in line with our concept for the Austrian pavilion 2015 in Milan. This involves replacing extensive building services equipment with planting yards and their performance. An example of future bioclimatic architecture through systemic innovation.

The company GRÜNE ERDE specializes in the development and manufacture of products in which ecological, sustainable thinking and action are fundamental - with special consideration of socially just trade and material chains of renewable resources.

Our design philosophy fits well with these principles - because they combine human needs with the ecology of our living environment. With the Green Earth Headquarters project, given standards in terms of design, material consumption, energy consumption and the bioclimatic impact of large structures were subsequently questioned ­–­ and redefined.

A Breathing Headquarter – A Plant-Based Systems Design

Green Innovation Impact Design

Biophilia in Design

Vegetal Performance

Plant-Powered Systems Design

GRUENE ERDE has specialized on designing and producing products that are driven by a most ecological, sustainable thinking and business practice – all that with a close look on socially fair trading and material chains of re-growing resources.

We answer in designing an entire ecosystem. A systems design approach that introduces breathing into buildings. A sensual and atmospheric space that is literally breathing in oxygen originating from its vegetated courtyards. Plant-performance providing fresh clean air and oxygen to breathe, while cooling all spaces and fully substituting conventional climate machines. A design that is 99% petroleum free and powered by renewable energy from 100% on-site resources. The end of air-conditioning as we know it and a beginning for a new kind of co-habitation on our planet Earth.

Bio-Climatic and Sensual

Like inverted clearings in a forest, the interior landscape of the new GRÜNE ERDE headquarters is structured by thirteen patios allowing daylight to impact our way we sensually experience our daily working and living environment. Here, individual plant communities of nine Austrian living forest ecotopes provide oxygen and microclimate, sensual experiences and great comfort, for people, flora and fauna to thrive.

Walking Space

A sequence of breathing spaces has been created, whose richly planted climatic courtyards provide air with a scent of forest. Wooden columns then standing freely as if in a forest, high wooden ceilings, the changing play of light, sometimes confined, sometimes wide and open, constantly changing visual references. A walk through the Gruene Erde interiors is reminiscent of a walk through the forest, providing impressions that don't need to be analyzed in a great way, but that simply come about, that you feel and enjoy.

Green Innovation

At the Breathing Headquarters of Gruene Erde, for the first time, large-scale "climatic and atmospheric plant performance" is being applied for the climate, ventilation and cooling concept, based on our concept for the Austrian Pavilion 2015 in Milan.

In 13 courtyards the forest plant-communities are unfolding their climatic and atmospheric “plant-performance”. They are creating a microclimate, provide natural, living light and provide air and fresh oxygen for the entire ventilation.

A piece of horizon

Almost like a reflecting lake. A piece of horizon made of glass shingles determines the surprising first impression upon arrival at the Gruene Erde site. One is first occupied with sensually experiencing the organic aliveness of the grounds of the headquarter, as just the sky, trees and landscape are in front of one's eyes.

For this matter, the different angles of inclination of the glass shingles help to experience the liveliness of natural setting, the wider landscape, its sky and clouds in changing weather and different light moods. Turned into a facade, the reflecting mirror-facets do not form a pictorial continuum, but rather act as a medium with which we can experience the landscape on a level related to our senses.

IDEA TOPS AWARD Inspiration

The distinguished IDEA TOPS AWARD is about inspiration. And we are keen to inspire a larger audience with one possible future: it is plant-based, petroleum-free, socially just and ecologically sound. It is about living and connecting to fellow humans and to our alive environment — to rethink given standards in design, material use, energy usage and bio-climatic design of large structures. How can we think it all together? We suggest one possible answer with this plant-based project. A project where an eco-innovation company and our explorative ecological aims matched for a ‘proof of concept’.

Energetic and Economic Balance Organic and smart versus expensive. The Breathing Headquarters of Gruene Erde is - and this is our preference - plant-based and purely relies on renewable raw materials: from the building material of timber, to a plant-based climate concept, through the entire Gruene Erde product range and organic farming around the building, to the vegetarian-biological bistro. Added to this is the complete ecological energy supply through geothermal and photovoltaic energy. A successful ‘proof of concept’ that plant-based innovation can take place in a cost-neutral way.

A living work environment

How will the working staff relate to this building? And how will the visitors experience it? Our goal - as enrichment! The working atmosphere in the textile plant is most characterized by the daylight-flooded interior. Here, the time of day, the weather and the lighting mood become tangible for the workers at any moment. And what about the building materials that do not emit any harmful substances? The smiling faces of the employees speak for themselves. As sick leave drops to almost zero, it becomes obvious that the vibrant aliveness of this living interiour "communicates" most positively.

A working organic landscape

Upon arrival and with ones own instantaneous deceleration, one can experience the buzzing of the organic bee- and nutrient pasture that was transformed from a plain corn field. Instead of creating a representative interspace, an organic farm with organic vegetable gardens is now integrated directly in front of the Gruene Erde headquarter. According to the CSA principle of "community supported agriculture", it is run by the local initiative ‘Almgruen’ to enjoy meals made of local vegetables and fruit directly in the vegetarian Gruene Erde Bistro.

We can breathe!

In times where clean air becomes most precious and healthy working conditions a prerequisite. Here innovative design solutions will lead us into an ecologically sound future that our planet and all its life so urgently deserves.
