Biophilic Design Incorporated into Exterior Design
Recently, we had the opportunity to bring a moment of calm to Truist’s outdoor atrium space. We created an outdoor Faux Greenery wall using an A-Class fire-rated and UV protected product. That means Truist gets all of the aesthetic benefits of a ‘living plant wall’ without the need for natural light, a maintenance schedule or drainage.
For Truist Bank, headquartered in Charlotte, NC, we’ve had the pleasure of creating several moments of biophilic design for the interior corporate offices. Check out the 40′ preserved Moss Art wall we created for them. If you are not familiar, Biophilic Design blends someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies and the nature-forward approach into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity and creativity.
This outdoor wall was a great solution to bringing some of that biophilia to the atrium of the building when Moss Art was not an option. Moss Art is an indoor only product (as it can’t withstand the changing elements). However, this Faux Greenery was the perfect way to incorporate everything we love about preserved plant walls while being outside. It creates a moment for both employees and passersby. In a chaotic world, any moment to pause and take in a sense of calm is well worth it in our opinion.
Before Photos of Truist Outdoor Faux Greenery Wall in Uptown Charlotte, NC
The project covered 110 sqft of space and looks lovely in the background of the Uptown Charlotte landscape. The use of additional purple foliage helps to bring together the branding elements of Truist. It is a subtle nod to their brand but an important one for brand recognition.
We are loving the addition of outdoor Faux Greenery as a product offering at The Savage Way. If you are looking for a lush, green product with longevity that withstand the elements, reach out!

The Savage Way has been creating custom Moss Art for almost a decade now. We create everything from 70′ long moss walls in a corporate lobby to a small moss logo in a coffee shop. No matter the size, the fusion of art and nature is something that fuels us as artists. There is something magical about the beautiful dance of color, texture, and use of nature to enhance a space. This “thing” actually has an industry term called Biophilic Design.
By definition, Biophilic Design blends someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies and the nature-forward approach into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity and creativity. Check out this article in House Beautiful to read more on Biophilic Design.
We have the pleasure of installing these calming elements into tons of workspaces in North Carolina and beyond. Below are some examples of green preserved plant walls in action. Take note of how seeing the lush greenery makes you feel when even looking at a photo… now imagine opening your computer and getting work done while next to a natural element like moss. #Dreamy.

Terraces at Park Place showcases beautiful, organic Moss Art in their newly redesigned space. And in our opinion, this is how you elevate a corporate lobby!
The Savage Way was brought in to design a Moss Art installation that would cover the expansive, white lobby. We worked with the team at Collett Capital, owners of the property, to bring biophilic design into the space. We landed on these wavy, flowing lines in various shades of green to bring life to the space. Using preserved reindeer moss, we were able to create a calming, welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in the door.
Terraces at Park Place is a plaza owned and operated by Collett Capital. Collett Capital is a real estate private equity firm with over $700+ million in assets under management. The firm is focused on acquiring and developing well-located, income producing real estate assets with durable cash flows and upside potential. Learn more here. In this particular building, there is 73,000+ square feet of space with tenants like OrthoCarolina, Starbucks, Sabor Latin Street Grill, Sherwin Williams, Firehouse Subs, TLC Wings, Sprint, Pizza Hut, and more.
We love when companies decide to use green walls in their space. Biophilic design, or someone’s innate attraction to nature and living things, blends perfectly into architecture and interior design. Many modern workspaces seek to integrate biophilic design strategies into their design plans for a variety of reasons; improving employees’ quality of life, meeting sustainability goals and increasing productivity. Research has shown that humans prefer a natural environment over built, especially in a post-COVID world. By having Moss Art in a workspace, employers are promoting overall well-being.
We love the scale of this project with Collett Capital and are honored to be included in the design.

One of the things that The Savage Way is known for is our custom signage Moss Art. Our pieces are highly designed to the client’s desires, all while following brand standards. We pride ourselves on giving our clients a full circle experience, from the brainstorming & design phase to final execution. With our extensive marketing background, we understand those established brand standards and maintaining the brand aesthetic. We love when we get a chance to create signage out of our preserved plants.
There are a multitude of ways to display your branded signage in the office, but using Moss is such a unique experience. It adds greenery to your space in an unexpected and creative way. And the beauty of working with The Savage Way, is that we are able to customize the requested design to fit your interior design intent. Below are several ways that we have created signage out of moss for our clients.
From neon signage on a mixed moss backer to routed & filled letters that are stud mounted to the wall, Moss Art brings an elevated biophilic design element to any space. We are able to translate a traditional logo or even your company mission statement / core values into a stylized Moss Art piece.
Moss Art is definitely a trend we can get behind. There are so many benefits to bringing plants into workspaces. Nature is calming, reduces stress and leads to an overall better experience in an office setting. Our custom signage Moss Art creations are a great alternative to living plants (since Moss Art require zero maintenance!)
Our team is ready when you are to brainstorm all the creative solutions to bring your brand or logo “to life.” Since Moss Art does not require maintenance, it’s truly an ideal alternative in the signage and decorating space. Email us at [email protected] to start the conversation.

While The Savage Way is primarily focused on our service lines of Clean Graffiti and Moss Art, we also decided a while ago to have some creative fun and open a Moss Art Shop. We wanted to find a way to get some of the creative ideas out of our head and also offer some of our art and merchandise at a more affordable rate for residential clients and new art collectors.
A big part of what we enjoy is getting to infuse our philosophies into everything that we make. We created a few collections that achieve just that!
SEEK THE GOOD COLLECTION
If you’ve been around for a while, you know that “Seek the Good” has been a motto for a longtime. It reminds us that sure, it is always great to stay positive, but for us, it’s a constant reminder that we GET to do this. No matter what is going on with out business… putting out fires, growing pains, decision fatigue, navigating employees, beautiful new projects, etc… We remind ourselves to stop and laugh. WE GET TO DO THIS LIFE.
We work hard and have created something out of nothing. That is no small feat. Building a company is hard, but we are so grateful for the #SeekTheGood mentality.
