Biophilic design is a concept that blurs the line between nature and the built environment. Embracing the patterns of nature to create spaces that provide greater connection between the indoors and out is vital for wellbeing and a harmonious relationship with our planet.
With planter boxes like this black steel model from SLOW, nature can easily be brought inside.
Features that take inspiration from organic shapes, like this custom balustrade from Wrought-Iron Specialists, can enhance the feelings of natural connection in the home.
The Montpellier Cast Iron Radiator from Paladin is a great example of natural design elements blending with technology.
Open the sky and let in the light with a skylight, such as this round model from Adlux.
Earthy natural textures and tones, such as those found on these weathered oak decking boards from Millboard, can enhance the natural aura of a space.
A well positioned deck with good indoor-outdoor flow can make the world outside feel much closer.
Structures that can interact with the weather can enhance the felt connection with nature.
