Biophilic design incorporates nature into the built environment to promote well-being, productivity, and connection.
Optimize workstations for natural light. To give workers natural light, place desks and common spaces near windows.
Place indoor plants strategically throughout the office. Place them on desks, in communal spaces, and near windows to create a lush, pleasant ambiance.
Finish and furnish with wood and stone. Use hardwood workstations, stone countertops, or wooden accent walls to add warmth and authenticity.
Use terraces or balconies for outdoor workstations. Encourage employees to work or take breaks outside with chairs, tables, and shading.
Install indoor fountains or ponds. Flowing water sounds soothing and natural.
Aromatherapy diffusers bring nature to work. Consider lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus smells for a nature connection.
These biophilic design components can make workplaces attractive and improve employee well-being, creativity, and productivity. Nature's beauty creates a positive, energetic workplace.
