This article explores the integration of green architecture into modern business centers as a new interpretation of business–nature harmony. It emphasizes how architectural solutions such as indoor ecosystems, vertical forests, waterfalls, deserts, and glacier-inspired compositions can redefine the role of commercial buildings. These natural elements not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also support human well-being, reduce workplace stress, and enhance cultural and touristic value. By transforming business centers into living museums of nature, the concept fosters ecological awareness and positions urban spaces as key drivers of sustainable development. The study highlights both the ecological and socio-economic benefits of this approach and underlines the necessity of uniting business progress with environmental responsibility.
