Biophilic Design – Kitchen Upgrade Magic
What is Biophilic Design and how exactly is it impacting home design? We have talked a bit about a number of aspects of this new trend, so now it’s time to look at what homeowners will want to know about it. This week we cover Biophilic Design and how it can really be Kitchen Upgrade Magic.
What is Biophilic Design?
Biophilic Design means to integrate nature into a design in ways that expand a person’s connection with nature. A single consideration like incorporating natural light doesn’t nreally mean you have made your design Biophilic. Rather, incorporating several factors that make the statement that the natural world has an organic and deliberate place in the design, is Biophilic.
More specifically, Biophilic Design is incorporating a growing understanding of the needs we have as human’s to exist in nature, as a part of nature. Numerous components of this kind of design are logical considerations for a lot of residential and commercial buildings. It is when we combine these elements in a more deliberate way that it has a more complete and positive effect on the space and our health.
