2023

What began as an interior planting project at OCO’s Glasgow headquarters in 2023 grew into a long-standing partnership. Gaia introduced carefully selected greenery across two office floors and the entrance, creating a welcoming working environment.

The Challenge

OCO’s newly designed headquarters included storage and divider cabinets with dedicated spaces for plants.

Our challenge was to select suitable greenery and source bespoke planters that fitted within the existing furniture, while responding to the different growing conditions throughout the offices.

The Thinking

We carefully selected plants and sourced bespoke planters to integrate greenery into the purpose-designed furniture, alongside a generous mix of freestanding plants in decorative pots.

The staircase required particular attention, with temperatures fluctuating between hot summers and cold winters. We selected a suitable palm with these challenging conditions in mind.

Outside, a statement tree brought greenery to the building’s entrance.

The Outcome

The result was a welcoming workplace where planting complemented the contemporary interiors, adding warmth, texture and character across both office floors.

The project also marked the beginning of a valued relationship with OCO, which has since grown to include planting installations and horticultural maintenance across multiple Starbucks locations throughout Scotland.
