Natural space
The focus on biophilic design has grown in recent years as its benefits in workplace and health-care settings are being recognised. The idea that humans innately seek out connection with nature and that the places we inhabit should support this behaviour for improved well-being is resoundingly logical. Ask anyone to name the locations in which they’ve been happiest and chances are most people will list spots that are close to water, in full view of natural light or somewhere with plenty of green space.
It also makes sense that if the places we work in and visit when we’re sick are informed by natural connections, then our homes should be too.
