Biophilic design is an innovative approach to modern interior spaces, aiming to combine our natural affinity with the environment and a contemporary built landscape. Relying on biophilia theory which states that our species has evolved in accordance with nature for nearly all of its history, this concept suggests we still retain instincts related to being surrounded by things like plants or sunlight – something many find advantageous for their health and wellbeing.

For decades, architects have looked to nature for inspiration when creating structures that blend in perfectly with humanity and its environment. This style of design is called “biophilic,” or Organic Architecture – a movement which has now gained even more traction as brands use it to create workspaces designed around physical, psychological and emotional effects from the great outdoors! Explore why these natural elements bring greater wellness into modern work environments worldwide.

Biophilic Designs…

Reduced stress levels
Increased productivity
A reduction in sick days and absenteeism
Higher attractivity for job candidates
Reduced pollution and cleaner air
Lower noise levels
Creativity boost

According to CIPHR.

Biophilic design is quickly becoming the go-to for Home Designs with a plethora of benefits ranging from improved creativity to reduced pollution and noise levels. Through adding natural elements back into our environment such as plants, we can restore connection between humans and their primal home all while reducing stress, increasing productivity – even making workplaces more attractive job candidates!

Importance of Biophilic Home Designs

Our modern lives often lead to disconnecting from the natural world, but biophilic design offers an innovative way to stay connected. By incorporating elements of nature into our built environments, we can create spaces that promote a sense of wellbeing and foster meaningful relationships with the great outdoors. Biophilia is at its most influential now than ever before – it’s time for us all to take advantage!

Six Key Principles of Biophilic Designs


  1. The Natural environment: Invigorate your office with a soothing atmosphere straight out of the great outdoors! Bring nature indoors by incorporating earthy colors, airy sunlight and lush plants. Improve morale and productivity with calming images of wildlife in their natural habitats!
  2. Clean Lines & Natural Shapes: Nature’s artistry is showcased in its stunningly unique shapes from geometric arches, clean lines and sharp accents, the wonders of natural shapes never cease with a biophilic design.
  3. Design Patterns: Nature is full of beautiful and inspiring patterns, from the erosion of rocks to plant growth. It can use rhythm and scale in amazing ways, captivating us with its ever-transforming beauty.

4. Natural Light: Incorporating natural light into your living space is a great way to create an environment that promotes health and wellbeing. Biophilic design works by introducing elements of warmth and embracing the outdoors, bringing harmony between nature-based designs and modern architecture. By taking advantage of different shapes in relation to sunlight, you can enhance any room with this powerful element!

5. Greenery: Introduce organic beauty of biophilic designs with plants! Whether it is a few natural greenery pieces, artwork inspired by foliage or colors that mimic nature – this will bring an uplifting and calming atmosphere to your workspace. Establishing harmony between interior and exterior spaces. Blurring the boundaries. Enhancing the space with both aesthetically pleasing elements alongside restorative energy of green plants.

6. Human Nature Experience: By weaving together the modern and timeless, biophilic design allows us to rediscover our relationship with nature that has existed since time immemorial. It evokes powerful emotions as it revisits themes like order, safety, mastery and exploration in a unique office atmosphere. Unearthing this link between humans and nature is an unforgettable experience!
