Health-Integrated Bio-Filtration Plant Module

Extension – Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos (Hot-Humid Zone)

The extension integrates a passive indoor bio-filtration system designed to enhance visitor health
while demonstrating low-energy water purification. The system combines emergent,
near-surface, and root-zone plants within a contained planter module to improve indoor air
quality, stabilize humidity levels, and support psychological wellbeing through biophilic design.
Selected climate-appropriate species actively filter airborne pollutants, moderate microclimatic
conditions, and visually communicate natural processes within a controlled museum
environment. While the system demonstrates greywater polishing through natural filtration media
and plant root zones, its primary function is the enhancement of indoor environmental quality and
occupant wellbeing. The water treatment component operates as a secondary educational layer,
illustrating nature-based treatment strategies suitable for hot-humid climates such as Lagos,
Nigeria. The system is modular, low-maintenance, gravity-driven, and replicable, aligning with
the project’s health, sustainability, and educational objectives.

System Components (Diagram Reference)


• Emergent Macrophytes – Dwarf Papyrus (humidity buffering & air quality support)
• Near-Surface Plants – Peace Lily (VOC reduction & occupant wellbeing)
• Filtration Media – Washed gravel and sand for physical filtration
• Root-Zone Bio-Filtration – Vetiver grass roots for microbial purification
• Treated Water Collection Zone – Reuse / irrigation
• Passive Gravity Flow – No mechanical pump required
