In 2026, we no longer bring plants to the lobby—we build the lobby inside a forest. We present the concept of Interior Vertical Forests. These are not just 'green walls,' but full-fledged multi-tiered ecosystems integrated into the very structure of the building. At Reception Space, we design spaces where biodiversity serves as the foundation for creating an ideal microclimate and psychological comfort. We explore how jungles in the heart of a megacity are becoming the new norm for premium architecture.
Architectural Bio-Sculpture: More Than a Living Wall
A 2026 vertical forest is a complex engineering structure with automated hydroponic nutrition and AI-controlled lighting. Unlike decorative greenery, these jungles have depth and volume, creating an immersive effect. In Reception Space lobbies, we use cascading plantings that descend from the upper floors of the atrium, forming living columns. This is not only breathtaking but also serves as a natural air filtration and humidification system, reducing HVAC load by 30%.
Psychoacoustics: The Sounds of a Living Forest
Natural noise cancellation through biomass
Vertical forest foliage is the world's best acoustic diffuser. In 2026, we use planting density to divide lobby zones into private islands. The sound of a voice dies in the greenery without reflecting off concrete and glass. In Reception Space projects, we complement the visuals with directional sound systems mimicking birdsong and rustling leaves, which completely blocks out city hum and creates a sense of absolute solitude in a quiet forest.
