We are connected to nature…
Biophilia refers to the fact that as human beings, we have a bond with nature, green and the outdoors. As such Biophilic Design takes this concept and works to apply it to spaces where we interact, live, shop, relax and work.
Benefits like reductions in stress levels and absenteeism can be attributed to the Biophilic office design. Chicago businesses, for example, can reduce the negative impacts of sterile workplaces and actually enhance their environments with interior garden services that provide office plants, green walls, natural woods or stone, and more that mimic the natural world. Given the weather in Chicago, office plants can help boost morale and productivity.
What is Biophilic Office Design?
Biophilic office design refers to an increasing trend of bringing the outdoors indoors. Interior garden services can lend to a workspace that gives us a sense of nature, which enhances our creative processes and increases productivity levels.
The design can include an abundance of green areas where staff can work, collaborate or relax/meditate in thought. Our Chicago biophilic design team applies simple principles that can be relatively easy to incorporate into any workplace.
Employee’s needs change per project and situation. Biophillian enriched environments enhance creative thinking and facilitate collaboration. A sterile office environment can perpetuate a sterile collaboration, but an environment that is a reflection of the outdoors can kick start collaboration towards higher levels of productivity. Our Chicago biophilic design consultants can help bring out the best in you and your employees.
