BIOPHILIC DESIGN

“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.” - Frank Lloyd Wright.

It’s estimated that the average American spends 90% of their time indoors, so what we do with our indoor spaces is of the upmost importance to our overall physical and mental health. Connecting our indoor spaces to nature is the foundation of biophilic design, and it lights me up.

Biophilic design is about optimizing natural light, views to greenery outside, prioritizing water features and organic materials, and providing comfortable spatial relationships that can promote either relaxation or productivity.

What natural elements speak to you on an emotional level? The range of blues and grays in the sea or rich earth tones? The patterns in foliage? The textures of the shoreline? A crackling fire and glow of candlelight? Bringing your innate propensities into your interior spaces creates magical moments.
