Pharmavite helps people live healthier lives and is focused on devising complete nutritional products that incorporate essential nutrients and minerals. They have won the trust of professionals and retailers in their field, as well as ensuring that their employees feel supported, and that wellbeing is at the forefront of the company's concerns. As part of this they partnered with HOK to create a striking space featuring a mix of geometric design, natural woods and biophilia, dark lines and bright color. 

The reception emphasises the power of biophilia and its possible integration into corporate design. From the start, the black contours create a powerful anchor and medium, through which bright colours and rich foliage can exert their influence. In keeping, an assertive black railed atrium gives way to a stately, gently sloping staircase. Its function doubles up as tiered seating which can be used as a collective learning space or for informal brainstorming sessions. The look details vividly colored upholstery, encouraging the flow of innovative ideas company wide. 

The clarity is continued through the Palisades Grid as a tool to extend Pharmavites brand and showcase its products. In-built box shelves and a screen effect a technological edge, a testament to the progressive adaptability enabled among employees. The simple square geometry is complemented by a striking, textured ceiling featuring the firm's corporate colors and an original flair. Again, black contours acting as the medium through which the design lives and breathes.
