We need nature, the air that produces, the smell of life, the smell of life. There is nothing more beautiful than working surrounded by trees, flowers and fresh air. And how simple it is not so simple to move work into nature, We bring nature in the middle of our office or home.
Biofilical design takes root because we need nature. However, it is good to know the road to the destination when we venture into the forest. So, here’s what this new trend in interior design means, how we can meet it in our homes or offices and what it uses more precisely.
What does biofilic design mean more precisely?
Biofilic design was born in the early 1980s. Biologist Edward O. Wilson said then that man was born with an affinity for the natural world. Since now the man spends almost 90% of the time, according to the study conducted by National human activity ModelIn 2001, It is necessary to bring nature into the buildings, in a subtle and at the same time visible.
To treat the subject simplisticly, this means plants, many and everywhere. This need for man to approach nature has increased the number of start-ups that come to satisfy the demand for green. Of course, biophilic design means more than decorating plants. The purpose of this trend is not only to embellish a space, but also to change and improve the mood to the people who frequent it.
Biofilical design was rapidly assigned by the offices spaces, Because, now more than ever looking for ways to create offices that work for employees, pleasant offices.
How can we bring biophile design to the offices?
As I said, bringing a biophilic design to the office means more than bringing pots with plants. We must take into account the natural articles that we invite in the office. We have identified 7 ways according to which we can incorporate biofilic design into any space.
1. Visual connection with nature
I was saying that biofilic design has the power to improve the life of our employees. The first and perhaps the fastest advantage that this trend brings is that with the plants brought to the office, The level of oxygen increases and the fatigue decreases.
We incorporate biofilic design viewing the different green elements. Aquariums, green walls, pots with plants and a window for the outdoor garden together, These elements sit the connection between man and nature.
2. Use natural light to the maximum
Biofilical design wants to improve employee health. Nature needs light, like man. But in most offices spaces, natural light penetrates very hard. According to the study conducted by Human spaceAlmost 30% of employees are in this situation. The level of productivity and energy decreases due to the lack of natural light.
We must use natural light in an intelligent and varied way. Therefore, depending on the space we have available, temperature, we will benefit from hot light or cold light, but also shadow.
3. Air quality is important
Not only do plants need clean air. The quality of the air that we breathe influences our state of health with consequences on our productivity. So, to make sure that we and the plants that surround us, breathe clean air, ventilation must work, toxins should be removed from the air, the humidity level is optimal.
We are trying to approach the environment as much as possible. We can improve air quality not only through the ventilation system, but also through vegetation. Plants, walls and green roof, gardens, all contribute to the improvement of air quality.
4. Combine textures and natural materials
It is important to approach, as far as possible, to the environment. We must incorporate the biofilic design within the buildings naturally using natural materials and plots.
Natural elements such as wood, stone, humanize space and bring it back to lifeExactly what he wants to achieve a biofilic design. Furthermore, We must consider the idea of bringing non -Rytmic sensory stimuliwhich in nature are represented by the movement of the leaves or by the movement of the grass. Inside, they can be small fans that recreate the sound of water or decorations from natural materials that reproduce the sounds of the leaves.
5. Use the outdoor space as much as possible
We must use it correctly of all types of spaces that we have availableincluding gardens, external terraces. We make sure we can work from the outside when time allows you to decorate these comfortable furniture spaces.
It is very important to be witnesses of processes in nature, develop a connection with nature. As long as they are exposed to nature, both productivity and creativity begin to increase and well -being.
6. Colors are always a good choice when they are well chosen
We must learn to embrace the colors and be open to them. The colors recognized benefits on our health. There are numerous studies that show that we are strongly influenced by the chromatic chromatic. Dark colors can have a negative effect on us, while colors like blue or bright orange, for example, bless.
So it is important to use colors, be courageous in our choices, but we have to do our homework. The colors should be chosen based on the effects they may have on us.
7. The versatility of the work area
In fact, our employees need a versatile space. Each man is different for this reason, in order to hang his maximum potential, he must work in a space that stimulates him.
It is important to offer our employees the opportunity to choose from many business spaces. A game room, a reading or perhaps yoga, a quiet room or perhaps a work coffee, our employee must have where to choose.
What are the advantages of biophilic design on employees?
It seems that the simple association with nature, also through a grass stain, has multiple advantages. So it may be good to discover some of these to better understand why biofilic design is a trend that is worth taking into consideration.
We are more productive.
Following a study conducted in the United Kingdom, Employees who are exposed to nature are 15% more productive than those working in the ordinary offices. Among the factors that have contributed to this increase in productivity we can mention the quality of the air, the diversity of the work areas, a better general condition.
We focus more easily.
Regardless of how we decide to bring vegetation to the office, whether we are talking about green walls or pots with plants, the result is the same. The level of oxygen in a space increases, the effort is reduced and automatically increases the power of concentration.
We are more creative.
As long as we worked in a creative space, we are more creative. In this increase in creativity, not only the vegetation participates, but many other decorative elements that we could use as paintings, mural art, but also a better distribution of light, incorporation of the color and the use of natural materials.
We are healthier.
Vegetation, increased productivity, low fatigue, fresh air, natural light, everyone contributes to improving health. We are healthier, better than the space in which we work.
We are satisfied with the work.
In a previous article I was saying that employees became more aware of the place they work. They are worried about the appearance of the office. In fact, this is an important aspect in the decision to accept an offer or not. Happy employees don’t want to leave an office where they feel good and have good results.
Biofilian design: invitation for nature
Of course, there is a strong connection between man and nature, and once the connection has been established, the benefits do not delay. Once we manage to correctly implement biofilic design, Once we manage to enjoy more natural light, clean air, diversity in work areas, the level of productivity and our creativity increases and our health has visibly improved. Taking into account these advantages, it is easy to understand why this trend enjoys popularity.
