Effectively using daylight and including plants to create a sustainable space.
An interior space occupied by moss, one of the most sustainable plants.

Inspired by moss, a plant evolved from algae, a great indicator of pollution, and requires low maintenance, which makes it a great plant for creating a sustainable environment. In this project, I proposed a sustainable plant store that focuses on moss, creating an experience that is immersive and where plants and people are intertwined together.

By opening up the original storefront and designing a storefront sitting area to blend the boundary between the outside community and the plant store, at the same time creates a more interesting experience for people and allows more light into the space.

Rather than relying on design elements to fill space, daylight and moss occupy the interior, creating an immersive experience.
