Interior threshold framed by dense tropical foliage opening into a warm
An interior precedent for biophilic design, using dense tropical planting as a threshold framing a warm residential kitchen.
- What we like about this project
- The kitchen workspace is completely enveloped by living jungle plants right up to the structural edge.

- Geometry
- Low ground plane steps through a verdant opening into a deeper rectangular kitchen volume.
- Spatial scale
- Intimate residential scale, approximately standard room height.
- Lighting
- Deep shadow in foreground foliage contrasts with warm interior artificial lighting glowing from the back.
- Atmosphere
- Mysterious and organic, blending exterior nature directly into intimate interior architecture.
- Environmental context
- Indoor jungle atrium or overgrown conservatory seamlessly integrated with living spaces.
- Spatial experience
- The transition moves from an enclosed jungle-like threshold into a warm, framed interior space.
- Composition rhythm
- Asymmetrical framing created by hanging and standing foliage leaves.
