About Interiorscape

Interiorscape is a professional field guide to bringing nature into buildings, from the first sketch through years of use. Our mission is to advance biophilic design in the built environment.

Who publishes Interiorscape?

Interiorscape.com is owned and published by Jeremy Dearringer, a commercial real estate developer and property owner in Westfield, Indiana. Jeremy is also the owner and CEO of NewPro Containers, a supplier of commercial planters, and served for 10 years on the board of directors of Green Plants for Green Buildings.

Jeremy brings two perspectives to Interiorscape’s coverage: how the commercial interiorscape industry works, and what building owners need to know when they fund, operate and maintain a property.

Roots in the interiorscape trade

The domain’s roots are in the interiorscape trade: the people who select, install and care for living plants inside buildings. Interiorscape.com has a history as an industry forum associated with Interiorscape Magazine. That history is part of the domain’s background; the present publication does not claim uninterrupted magazine ownership, publication or editorial continuity.

Jeremy Dearringer and Steve Foster of FosterPlants co-founded the Interiorscape.com Facebook group, a private community of more than 1,000 interiorscape professionals. Members exchange practical advice about running plantscape businesses and servicing client installations. One early discussion brought together company owners to compare how they outfit their technicians for work in clients’ buildings.

Community size is owner-reported. Steve Foster’s May 2017 NewPro article documents the group’s activity by that date; the article and the remarks it includes retain Steve’s and the individual contributors’ credits. NewPro Containers and Interiorscape share ownership through Jeremy Dearringer.

A field guide for practice

For architects and interior designers, the starting point may be a seated sightline or a shadow across a floor. For specifiers, it may be a grow-pot opening, a liner or a service route. For building owners, it is also a question of what will be maintained and what allowance belongs in the operating budget.

Ownership disclosure

Interiorscape covers biophilic design for architects, designers and building owners. Where an article discusses a company in which its author or publisher has a financial interest, we disclose that relationship in the article.

Interiorscape.com and NewPro Containers share ownership through Jeremy Dearringer. Product coverage must be read with the financial relationships stated in the relevant article; a sales relationship does not imply ownership of the brands sold.

How to read the publication

• Research: look for a direct source, the study setting, what was measured and its limits. A finding in one setting is not a promise for another.
• Professional opinion: design guidance and trade-offs are judgments to test against the project brief, not measured outcomes.
• Illustrative concepts: current design studies are labeled at the card and detail level. An architectural visualization describes the image, not proof of a completed project.
• Documented projects: built-work claims identify their primary sources and project teams. The Inspiration collection separates two documented buildings from six illustrative studies.
• Commercial references: product mentions and provider listings are not a ranking, certification or endorsement. Common ownership is disclosed above; a sponsored placement should be identified as such rather than presented as independent evidence.
