The Importance of Biophilic Design
Biophilic Design is the art of harmonizing our innate love for nature with modern built environments. By incorporating natural elements into our spaces, we make buildings healthier and improve the general well-being of our bodies, minds, and spirits.
At Oakland Green Interiors, we believe in the power of Biophilia, or “love of living things.” Exposure to nature, even in small doses, provides huge mental and physical benefits. Plants will enrich your space visually, but they also boost your performance, whether you’re creating from home or working in an office.
Here's a glimpse into how incorporating nature in the workplace can make a real impact:
- 37% Reduction in Tension and Anxiety: Introduction of plants in the workplace (University of Technology, Sydney)
- 60% Improvement in Memory Retention and Task Performance: Presence of indoor plants (American Society for Horticultural Science)
- 6% Increase in Creativity: Employees in environments with natural elements (Human Spaces Report by Interface)
- Up to 15% Boost in Productivity: Mere presence of plants in an office setting (Journal of Experimental Psychology)
- 15% More Productivity, 90% Improved Well-being: Employees surrounded by biophilic design elements (Report led by Professor Sir Cary Cooper for Interface, 2015)
Discover the transformative impact of biophilic design on employee satisfaction, health, and productivity. Partner with us from the inception of your project and together, let’s craft vibrant, nature-inspired spaces that inspire and elevate.
