Elevating Corporate Offices with Biophilic Design: Planter Installation in Austin
When it comes to transforming corporate office environments, greenery isn’t just decoration—it’s a strategic design tool. At Teleperformance’s Austin, Texas corporate office, UPScapers delivered a curated set of nine commercial‑grade planters designed to elevate first impressions, welcome visitors, and enhance the daily experience for employees. This installation demonstrates how even a small but well‑planned biophilic intervention can create a meaningful visual and emotional impact in a professional environment.Why Planters Matter in Corporate Design
First impressions in workplace settings are formed in seconds. In global organizations like Teleperformance, entrance and lobby spaces must reflect professionalism, hospitality, and brand identity. Strategically placed planters help:- Warm up otherwise utilitarian corporate environments
- Establish a welcoming and polished atmosphere
- Create biophilic cues proven to reduce stress and improve mood
- Frame circulation routes without the need for construction
- Provide consistent aesthetics without the upkeep of live plants
But here’s the truth: corporate spaces are high‑traffic and maintenance‑limited—so the greenery used must balance beauty and durability.
The Challenge Behind the Transformation
The Austin corporate office needed a thoughtful, elevated design that addressed several issues:1. Underwhelming First Impressions
Standard lobby finishes and bare corridors failed to reflect Teleperformance’s modern, people‑centric brand.2. Limited Support for Employee Well‑Being
A purely functional workspace lacks the warmth and visual softness that greenery can bring.3. Live Plant Maintenance Burdens
High‑rise corporate offices face challenges such as:- Watering logistics
- Plant turnover
- Pest control
- Soil mess and debris
- Inconsistent plant health
Teleperformance needed the look of premium plants without the operational headaches.
4. Coordinated, Not Randomized, Design
Nine planters had to work cohesively—not as disconnected décor pieces.The Solution: A Cohesive Set of Nine Commercial Planters
UPScapers supplied a curated set of nine planters designed to transform the entrance and adjacent circulation paths at the Austin office.Coordinated Planter Family
- Nine planters selected to complement one another in height, profile, and finish
- Placed at strategic points to guide movement and enhance visual rhythm
- Used to soften corners, accent walls, and activate quiet zones
This wasn’t a “drop in a few pots” approach—it was a cohesive, design‑driven layout.
Commercial‑Grade Greenery
- Artificial or preserved foliage aligned with corporate color palettes
- Always lush, always consistent—no browning or seasonal die‑off
- Cleanable, durable, and ideal for high‑traffic office corridors
This gives the office the biophilic benefits of greenery without the unpredictability of live plants.
The greenery stays perfect with minimal cleaning.
What to Know Before Installing Corporate Planters
If you're planning a similar workspace enhancement, here’s what matters most:- Use coordinated sets: Planters should look like a designed collection.
- Match finishes: Align with existing architectural materials and brand colors.
- Avoid maintenance pain: Artificial greenery is ideal for corporate spaces.
- Plan the placement: Thoughtful spacing shapes movement and improves flow.
- Focus on first impressions: Prioritize lobby and reception sightlines.
