Root Houseplants acts as your dedicated biophilic design consultant and technical plant specification partner, supporting architects, interior designers, and project managers across Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, London, and nationwide.
We integrate our horticultural expertise and 8 years of experience to help bring your vision to life—from initial blueprint to final installation. We specialize in providing technically sound commercial plant installations, including modular living green walls and architectural office foliage, for new commercial developments and refurbishments across the UK.
Incorporating living plants into architectural designs is no longer an afterthought; it is a technical necessity for modern wellness, WELL Building Standards, and BREEAM certifications. Our collaboration ensures your project benefits from maximum aesthetic impact and seamless operational integration:
Design Integrity: We help you specify plants that match the precise visual intent of your renders—whether your scheme calls for bold architectural trees or subtle natural acoustic dividers across open-plan spaces.
Technical Compliance & Lighting Data: We advise on optimal species based on structural floor loads, LUX light levels, HVAC airflow, and humidity fluctuations, guaranteeing plants thrive long-term.
Enhanced Environmental Quality: Integrating natural elements softens modern surfaces, aids acoustic dampening, and significantly improves indoor environmental quality for building occupants.
Worry-Free Aftercare: You deliver the blueprint; we deliver the flawless execution, full health and safety compliance (RAMS provided), and guaranteed long-term maintenance.
We understand the complexities, tight timelines, and coordination required for large-scale commercial builds. We collaborate directly with architectural practices, interior studios, and main contractors throughout the lifecycle:
1. Expert Plant Specification
You bring the architectural plans; we provide the horticultural specs. We offer detailed guidance to select the most suitable indoor species and systems (including full technical data for living green wall installations) that fit both your project brief and budget requirements.
2. Full-Scale Commercial Plant Installation
Our site-certified team manages the installation process, ensuring precise plant placement and zero disruption on active sites. We have successfully delivered on diverse schemes, from boutique hospitality venues to major corporate headquarters across key UK business hubs.
3. Guaranteed Plant Maintenance for Your Clients
Your reputation relies on a project's long-term success. We protect your architectural vision long after handover by providing a guaranteed maintenance package directly to the building management team. Trusted by over 50 venues across the UK, our aftercare includes:
Free Plant Replacements: We guarantee the health of the foliage year-round, replacing any failing greenery at no additional cost to the client.
If you are an architect, interior designer, or specifier currently working on a new commercial development in London or Manchester, a hospitality refurbishment in Liverpool or Leeds, or any project across the UK that requires technical plant specification, partner with the specialists.
