Biophillic Gilling Dod Interior Design recognises the powerful impact of biophilia in creating healthier, more sustainable environments. Biophilic design strengthens the human-nature connection by integrating natural elements into built spaces, enhancing wellbeing, productivity, and emotional resilience. This aligns with our broader commitment to sustainability and innovative, human-centred design. Biophilic design is more than adding plants—it’s about fostering a deeper, intentional connection to nature. Research shows that exposure to natural elements can reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance creativity. In today’s high-pressure world, such benefits are essential across all sectors, from healthcare and education to commercial and residential environments. Our team integrates seamlessly biophilic elements thoughtfully and purposefully into schemes across multiple sectors. From maximizing natural light to using organic materials like timber and stone, to including greenery and indoor plants in strategic locations, their designs create a harmonious balance between nature and the built environment. This approach results in spaces that not only look beautiful but also foster health and productivity. Additionally, we often incorporate eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices, ensuring that biophilic design is not only beneficial to the people using the space but also kind to the planet. Through this blend of natural aesthetics, sustainable practices, and human-centred design, we create spaces that are both restorative and inspiring, supporting the well-being of their clients while protecting the environment for future generations. Some of our key considerations when designing with Biophilia in mind include the following. • Drawing in as much natural light into a scheme as possible. • Introducing planting or living walls to help purify the air • Specifying natural materials to create sustainable and natural asthetic in a scheme • Creating views of nature where possible to have a direct visual connection • Introducing water features to help create a relaxing environment • Improving air quality by specifing materials with low VOCs • Considering acoustic comfort for those sensitive to sound • Improving spatial layout creating ease of movement and flow through a space Adding some of these elements into Interior Design Schemes has been proven to improve mental health by reducing stress, enhancing mood, and promoting cognitive restoration.
