BIOPHILIC DESIGN
By designing buildings that help bring the outdoors in, we learn to live in harmony with nature and help in creating a healthy ecosystem. Large balconies that open out to greenery and sky, windows in the living spaces that frame beautiful views, live creeper walls that can also filter out dust, and planter boxes are a few design ideas that help achieve our connection with nature.
Based on studies on environmental psychology, designs that enhance natural cross ventilation ensuring a healthy rate of air change and Daylighting can lead to a positive physical and mental well being.
Be a part of a space that can get your senses involved. Watch the colourful flowers and leaves, birds and butterflies and feel the calm the view imparts. Smell the sweet aroma that the flowers, rain and soil bring into the building. Feel the heat of the sun, and cool of the rain on your skin, the texture and surface temperature of the building materials you touch. Hear the sound of the birds, thunder, rain, wind and the wind chimes.
Live in a building that helps you take pride in the fact that it enhances Biodiversity, creates beautiful greenscape, makes your lifestyle healthy, limits heat stress, improves local air quality, reduces greenhouse gases, and limits the impact of climate change by saving energy.
