Hettie Jacks, Soho Square
Type of project: Office Fit Out
Located in Soho Square, London, this office fit-out project saw Green Envee working alongside Hettie Jacks to prepare the space for leasing. With a focus on simplicity and function, the brief called for a planting scheme that would soften the workspace and help define its layout — without adding complexity or cost to the fit-out.
Greenery that shapes space
The client needed the office ready and appealing for prospective tenants, with a scheme that felt considered but not overdesigned. The ask was straightforward: bring in greenery to soften the space, and find a way to break the open-plan office into distinct zones without the expense or permanence of full partition walls.
Get the space lease-ready
Any addition needed to enhance the space's appeal to future tenants without limiting flexibility for how they might use it.
Zoning without partitioning: Defining separate areas within an open-plan office, while keeping the space feeling open and adaptable rather than boxed in.
Simplicity without compromise: Achieving genuine impact on how the space felt and functioned, using understated, low-intervention additions rather than a large-scale design overhaul.
SolutionClean, natural finish
Built-in Buxus planters were installed at the end of desk runs, softening the workspace with a clean, natural finish that requires no separate structural work. Existing office cabinets were repurposed as zoning planters — combining storage with greenery to define different areas of the office naturally, without the need for full partitions.
The result is a workspace that feels open, flexible and genuinely lease-ready, proving that the simplest additions can make the biggest difference to how a space feels and functions. Learn more.
