Algeo in Everyday Spaces

Clean Air Where the Day Actually Happens
We spend most of our lives indoors, but rarely in the rooms sustainability policy talks about. The day is spent at a desk, at a counter, walking a concourse. Those are ordinary spaces, and they are exactly where indoor CO₂ climbs, where ventilation is stretched thinnest, and where nobody notices until the air feels stale.
Algeo is built to sit in those rooms — not in a plant room behind them.
At the Desk
In an open-plan office, the Algeo module sits on the worksurface in a light timber housing, at the scale of a piece of equipment people work beside rather than around. It treats air at the point where people are breathing it, and it stays legible: colleagues can see the culture, watch it deepen in colour, and understand at a glance that something is working.
Density is the advantage here. One unit per cluster of desks distributes treatment across a floorplate instead of concentrating it at an air handler.
In the Lounge
In hospitality and wellness settings, the same module takes a darker frame and a warmer light, glowing against timber and planting at the bar or reception counter. It reads as ambience — closer to a lamp than to equipment — while doing the same work. Front-of-house is where a property's environmental commitment is either communicated or invisible. Algeo makes it the former without a single sign on the wall.
In the Concourse
At retail scale, the modules cluster into an illuminated totem: a freestanding column carrying a constellation of hexagon photobioreactors, sized for atriums, malls and lobbies where footfall is high and floor area is precious.
One installation treats a large volume of shared air and, at the same time, becomes a landmark — a place people stop, look, and remember the brand that put it there.
One System, Many Rooms
Desk module, counter module, concourse totem: the same living core, housed for the room it serves. That is what makes Algeo deployable across a whole portfolio rather than one flagship space — and what makes the carbon data add up to a number worth reporting.
Live Better, Naturally.
