The Space Garden, created by Heatherwick Studio in collaboration with the Aurelia Institute, is an imaginative project showcased at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale. It presents a conceptual autonomous greenhouse orbiting Earth, challenging traditional views on sustainability. By integrating biophilic design, it explores how growing plants in space can improve mental health and benefit life back home. The centerpiece is a vivid pomegranate-shaped chamber linked to 30 growth pods, each tailored to specific plant needs, illustrating the balance between nature and technology for a better future.
Space Garden started as an experiment in humanising space, by growing the plant species that make small spaces work better for your mental health.
I'm fascinated by outer space,' says Thomas Heatherwick. 'But, maybe surprisingly, not in its own right. Instead, by its potential to help humans live better lives on Earth.
