Amazon Understory at the Spheres

The Spheres is the latest addition to Amazon’s downtown Seattle headquarters and includes three giant intersecting domes housing more than 40,000 plants from the cloud forest regions of over 30 countries—creating a lush workplace with a direct link to nature. The innovative building offers employees a work environment that is more like a rainforest than an office.

Visitor Experience at Amazon’s Understory Exhibit

To properly explain this groundbreaking new building, Amazon set out to establish a free, public visitor center at The Spheres, called Understory—the name of which refers to the lush habitat between the rainforest floor and canopy. Amazon assembled an accomplished team of local Seattle companies to design the exhibit space. Understory provides a fully immersive, 360-degree experience where visitors can get up close and personal with the science, engineering, and plants behind The Spheres. At a central media installation, visitors can take in sweeping interior views of The Spheres above, as well as stunning macro footage of its world-class plant collection on LED video wall displays from Leyard.

“Leyard Specialists were very accessible and worked closely as part of the project team to ensure that everything was delivered and installed properly. Leyard consistently remains not only relevant but a leader in this category.”
