What if your Home could become your Greatest Source of Creativity, Joy and even Healing?

We spend around 90% of our lives indoors - yet we rarely consider how the buildings we live in impact our health and happiness.

So, if you are feeling drained instead of energized,
overwhelmed instead of peaceful,
disconnected instead of grounded,
or fragmented when you crave connection...

It may not be you... It may be that your space is working against you instead of for you.

How we fix this?

What if we could experience the same physical, psychological, and emotional benefits moving through an urban landscape that we experience walking through a forest? What if we could right our relationship with nature by transforming the built environment in a way that ensures buildings function in harmony with the natural world?

SOME FACTS to understand the need of Biophilic Design:

• By 2050, 66% of the developed world will be urbanized, and therefore we are becoming increasingly distant from nature.
• In the United Kingdom in 2015/16, 11.7 million working days were lost due to stress.
• In 2002, the European Commission estimated the costs of work-related stress in the EU at 20 billion per year.
• Americans spend 93% of their time indoors while Europeans spend 85-90% of their time indoors.
• The World Health Organization has called stress the "health epidemic of the 21st century", which imposes considerable costs on employers and increases the need for people to focus on their physical and mental health.
• We recover significantly faster from stress when exposed to a natural environment, compared to an urban environment.

Research has shown that contact with nature has a psycho-therapeutic effect.

It also has been proven that being surrounded by nature, with all the multi-sensory effects it has on us, increases our immunity, improves resilience and improves our mood.

When was the last time you took a walk in the forest? 

 What you might not have known is that experiences in forests can transform us out of immobilizing burnout and other distress.

If we want to create a thriving and regenerative world, we need to find ways to integrate natural forms, processes, and systems into everything we do. 

Many factors affect human health and wellness, and biophilic design can provide benefits for occupants when integrated successfully into the built environment. These benefits can include increased productivity and employee happiness to improved health and test scores for youth.

By connecting humans with nature, biophilic design has been associated with:

•  Managing and reducing stress
•  Increasing cognitive performance and productivity
•  Improving overall mood and well-being
•  Shortening hospital duration time and the need for pain management
