What is biophilia all about?
Biophilic design - it's all about using natural stuff in your space to connect with nature, which is something we all crave. So why are so many companies jumping on the bandwagon? Could it be time to bring some of the outdoors into your workspace?
When companies care about their employees' happiness, they tend to have a more motivated and productive team. Did you know that adding some plants to your office can boost your creativity and productivity by up to 15%? It's natural for us to be drawn to nature, it just makes us feel good. But with 90% of our time spent indoors and only 35% of us getting just 15 minutes outside, it's no wonder we're feeling the strain. Mental health and heart problems are big contributors to global illness and often stem from stress. Studies show that being close to nature can help relieve stress, and even just having natural elements around us can lower blood pressure and heart rate.
An eye-catching and well-designed workspace with plenty of natural light and biophilic elements can have a big impact on how your business is perceived. It says a lot about your company, from your social responsibility to your environmental efforts. And when we design with wellness in mind, we cover four key areas: the environment (think light, temperature, air quality, and nature), physical well-being (movement and nutrition), stress and relaxation, and a sense of community.
Wondering how this all works in a busy, crowded space? The key is to strategically place biophilic elements where they'll get plenty of attention. Think plants to divide up spaces, a big tree as a focal point, a soothing water feature, or a lush living wall in a busy corridor. One big perk of using live plants is that they release moisture into the air through their leaves, which can help combat dry air - a common issue in air-conditioned offices. It doesn't matter if you have a plant at your desk or just catch a glimpse of a living wall down the hall, the benefits are the same.
Is it important for your workplace's future? We spend a lot of time at work and we want it to be a positive and enjoyable experience. The world is waking up to the environmental crisis, which makes adding office plants like living walls a no-brainer. Plus, using nature-inspired colors, graphics, and materials like wood can create a vibe that's good for your employees' wellbeing.
