What is Biophilic Design?


Biophilia, which means love of life / nature is a concept that emerged in the 1970’s and is the idea that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life. Biophilic interior design, said simply, consists in integrating nature into our indoor environment. 


Are you one of these people who feel really good after a day out in the open or even just a walk in the park? Well in fact research shows that a home designed along biophilic principles can significantly improve our health and wellbeing by reducing our anxiety and boosting our concentration and creativity!
