Biophilic Design

INTEGRATING NATURE TO BENEFIT LIVING QUALITY

Biophilic design integrates natural elements into interiors to enhance well-being and connection to nature. It incorporates natural light, greenery, organic materials, and textures to create a calming, restorative environment. This approach improves mood, productivity, and overall health by fostering a harmonious balance between indoor spaces and the natural world.

Bringing nature indoors makes us feel better.

Health & Wellness
in the Home

Monique Holland, CID, CAPS has been ASID Certified in Biophilic Design and Health & Wellness in the Home since 2020. She can personally attest to the benefits of incorporating natural elements into built environments.

“I currently live in a home that faces the woods. That is my backdrop for family gatherings, cooking, conversating and reading. Also growing up in a waterfront community also provided some of my happiest memories and spawned my creativity.”

Our goal is to connect people with nature through design, incorporating natural elements in the home to boost creativity, concentration and reduce stress. Biophilic design is closely connected to how we feel as we age and with this in mind Monique recently added certification as a CAPS (Certified Aging in Place Specialist.)

Key Aspects
of Biophilic Design

  • Direct Nature: Integrating natural elements like plants, water features, and natural light.
  • Indirect Nature: Using natural materials, colors, and patterns that mimic nature.
  • Space and Place: Creating open spaces with views of nature.

Biophilic Design is based on the biophilia hypothesis, which suggests that humans have an inherent need to connect with nature due to our evolutionary background. This design approach can be applied in various settings, from homes to offices and urban planning, to create healthier and more sustainable environments.
