Biophilic Design: Elements of a Naturally Happy Home
The word biophilia is the combination of two Greek words: “life” (bio) and “love” (philia). It literally translates to love of life. This love of life is an inherent personality trait that ALL humans possess as a result of evolutionary biology and psychology.
Biophilia has played an integral role in the success of humanity beyond just survival. We THRIVE in nurturing natural environments.
Wise designers are harnessing the power of biophilia and using our love of life to create healthier happier homes by using biophilic design techniques to bring more of the outdoors inside, which in turn translates into a deeper love of your home.
