Companies spend a lot of money to get people back to the office.

They give free lunches, ping-pong tables and team building workshops.

Four years ago, we turned this normal office in Spain into a natural workspace.

We installed green walls and planters next to the desks.

The plants are not the interesting part.
What’s interesting is what people do.

We were told that people in this office come in more and take fewer sick days.

We didn’t plan this. It happened because the space just feels better. And how people feel changes what they do more than any company policy.

So if you have an office, the question is not “can we afford making it a natural workspace?”

The question you should ask is “can we afford an office people don’t want to go to?”

In the video, our colleague Alejandra shows you how it works.

Everyone deserves an office they want to go to.

The more we work with water, the harder we find it to understand this.

Why are we working so hard to get rid of rain when we know we’re going to need water? How does that make sense?

After a big storm hit Copenhagen in 2011 and caused more than €800 million in damage, the city made an interesting comparison between two ways to manage heavy rain.

- The first was the conventional approach: adding more and bigger sewer pipes, which would cost about €2.7 billion.

- The second combined pipes with streets and parks that hold and manage rain, which would cost about €1.7 billion.

The option that gave water more space in the city was estimated to cost almost €1 billion less.

And the thinking behind it was simple: instead of only building bigger pipes to carry rain away, give it more places to collect and soak into the ground.

Green roofs help hold the rain and release it slowly, while rain gardens collect it in planted areas where suitable soil allows it to soak into the ground.

Instead of sending all that water away, we give it somewhere to stay close to where we need it.

This helps reduce flooding when it rains and keeps more water in the landscape for dry periods.

At BIOTONOMY, we design buildings and landscapes around a simple principle: keep water close to where it falls, and make use of it.

Every time we hear that we can’t afford greener cities, we wonder how much we’re already spending to work against nature.

Instead of letting all that water go to waste, we provide a place for it to stay—close to where we need it.

This helps reduce flooding when it rains and allows more water to be retained in the environment for periods of drought.

At Biotonomy, we design buildings and landscapes based on a simple principle: keep water close to where it falls and put it to use.

Whenever we hear that we cannot afford greener cities, we ask ourselves: how much are we already spending by working against nature?

Back in 2008, this project changed how our founder, Moein Nodehi, thought about buildings.

He had studied engineering and architecture for 5 years, in 4 different countries.

No one ever taught him that buildings could clean their own water.

Then he went out into the real world.

In Africa, South America and Asia, he saw children and mothers drinking dirty water.

And one question stayed with him:

How come we know how to build entire cities and skyscrapers, but we don’t design buildings that provide clean water and reuse it?

Finding an answer became a mission.

Years of trying, failing and trying again followed.

Finally, in Lebanon, it worked.

Together with refugees and local builders, Moein helped build this building.

The building harvested water, filtered it for drinking, and used natural systems to clean wastewater for reuse.

The project received recognition from the United Nations.

Then came the next question:
How do we do this in cities?

At Biotonomy, we secured EU funding to build prototypes, put these ideas into practice, and received recognition in Spain.

Today, we work with hotels and cities to build circular water solutions.

And every project we design follows the same principle:

Water should be used more than once.

You don’t need to have all the answers to start.
But you need to care enough to keep trying.

♻️ If you think our buildings should do more with water, repost this.

A green wall is not something you install and forget.
It’s something you look after.

4 years ago, we planted a vertical garden on the façade of Hotel Mariposa in Malaga Spain.
Today we’re back for the annual pruning.

But here’s the part most people don't know …
Pruning is much more than cutting plants.

This is what we do, step by step:

1 - Remove dry leaves.
2 - Trim plants that grow up or toward the windows.
3 - Replant where needed.
4 - Clean the gutters.
5 - Check the pipes, so water reaches every plant.

It’s a full check-up.
Like taking your car in for its yearly service.

The result: a façade that is still alive, green and working after 4 years.

That’s what we do at Biotonomy .
We turn conventional buildings into green buildings.
And we stay to keep them alive.

Would you like a vertical garden on your façade? Tell me in the comments.

If you don't understand water — you don't understand architecture.

This is one of the biggest design mistakes in modern buildings!

And it happens every day, without anyone questioning it.

Every time it rains, thousands of liters fall on our buildings.
Instead of being used, almost all of it is flushed straight into the sewage.

When millions of roofs do this at the same time, streets overflow and cities flood.
But nature works differently.

Plants and soil hold the rain, clean it, and let it sink slowly back into the ground.
Green roofs, vertical gardens, and wetlands bring that same system into our cities.

They capture the rain, store it, and release it slowly — back into the groundwater, not into the sewage.

The truth is:
Floods are not just caused by heavy rain.
They’re caused by bad design.

Every person who wants to build a house needs to decide whether to:

Build a house that consumes. Or a house that produces.

A house that consumes means you rent your water and power for the rest of your life.

A house that produces means you own them.

Most people build the first kind without noticing. They pick the tiles. They pick the kitchen. And they sign the house up for bills that never stop.

We have spent the past 15 years building the second kind.

These homes:

- Produce their own water.
- Heat and cool themselves naturally.
- Treat their wastewater and reuse it 4 times.
- Grow food in their own greenhouse.

None of this is new. Houses that produce used to be normal. Then we invented houses that consume.

You get to pick which one you build - but pick wisely, because one will cost you for the rest of your life.

If you want to learn how we design and build buildings that produce like this one?

We’ve built offices for decades like machines — efficient, but lifeless.

Grey walls, recycled air, no nature.
And then we wonder why people feel tired all the time.

This office in Málaga shows a different way.
A wall full of plants that breathes, cools the air, and changes how people feel at work.

◾Cleaner air
◾More focus
◾Less stress
◾More life

When nature enters our buildings, everything changes.
It’s not about decoration — it’s about bringing life back where we lost it.

That’s the idea behind what we call Nature-Based Architecture — spaces that care for people, not just contain them.

Imagine a phone that you could only use once.
You make one call, then you throw it away.

Super ridiculous, right?

Yet this is exactly how most buildings are designed to use water.
A litre of perfectly clean drinking water enters the building.
It gets one job.

Maybe you shower with it.
And then we throw it away.
One litre = one job.

Most people call that normal.
At Biotonomy, we call it single-use thinking.

Because water doesn't become useless after doing one job.

In the buildings we design, the same water can have up to four jobs:

Job #1: You take a shower.
Job #2: It irrigates a food garden, green wall or green roof.
Job #3: It flushes a toilet.
Job #4: After being treated by plants, it irrigates the landscape and trees.

Eventually, the water returns to the atmosphere or the ground — back into the natural water cycle.

One litre = up to four jobs.

So instead of asking:
“How many litres does this building use?”

We should be asking:
“How many jobs does every litre do?”

Because the future isn't only about using less water.
It's about getting more life out of every litre.

That's the difference between single-use thinking and circular thinking.

“Where are you?”
“At the green building.”

That’s the moment your building becomes a meeting point.

Green buildings give people a spot to escape the noise & rush of the city.

A street nobody noticed becomes a place where people meet & slow down.

People feel better, and the shops around them get more customers.

That’s how green buildings bring life & economy back to forgotten streets.

For over 15 years, we have been turning grey buildings into iconic green ones. And this happens every single time!
