As biophilic spaces grow in popularity, designers and architects alike are finding that these projects allow them to utilize the full scope of space. In the way it brings us closer to nature and its benefits, they’re also better able to develop “harmonious and healthy spaces.”
Biophilic design isn’t simply putting a succulent on your desk, or working while facing a window. It’s a carefully curated process of bringing sustainable materials and creative design to incorporate the natural elements into the look and feel of a space.
