Biophilic & sustainable design philosophy

Humans need to be connected to nature in order to reach their full potential. Studies have now shown that we heal quicker, work more efficiently and are less stressed when we live and work in places that help us connect with nature through plants, natural shapes, materials and interaction with natural environments.

Biophilia is the love of nature. Biophilic design is the practice of integrating every human’s need to be connected with nature into the built environment in which they live and work. Using Biophilic principles we design and create beautiful spaces for the benefit of the people who live, work, learn and play in them.

Biophilic design uses natural materials, light, shapes and textures and other experiences of the natural world to transform the built environment into a place that people will love to spend time in. Combined with sustainable design practices and materials we create gardens that are beautiful, good for the environment and easy to maintain.

“...the enjoyment of scenery employs the mind without fatigue and yet exercises it, tranquilises it and yet enlivens it; and thus, through the influence of the mind over the body, gives the effect of refreshing rest and reinvigoration to the whole system”

Frederick Law Olmsted, 1865
