We recently introduced biophilic design, what it is and the benefits are from the design work. Now we are going to learn the best ways to incorporate it into your workplace.

If you are interested in trying to incorporate nature into your workplace, this doesn’t mean you should frame a photo of a tree or plant and be done. A true nature experience will let employees settle, explore, adapt, and be creative. Here are some of the ways to bring nature into the workplace:

Sensory Richness

A workplace environment that engages multiple different senses for employees will feel inspired and renewed. Nature provides you with a variety of shapes like rounded doors, arches, and vaults will give off psychological comfort. Adding plants in the workplace is proven to help employees with fatigue during long periods of concentration.

Natural Rhythms

People will see an improvement in both their mood and sleep when their workplace replicates what it’s like outside. This includes their views, the length of the day, and temperature in their office. Increasing fresh air flow will help with a calming sense.

Challenges in Nature

When people were faced with challenges in nature, they learned to overcome adversity and build their resilience. When we are faced with a problem, we are focused to focus on creative ways to solve the problem. When a workplace mimics a natural environment people are more likely to be resourceful, show empathy, collaborate, and show an awareness of their surroundings.

Local Distinctiveness

It’s common for architecture and design to create a workplace with natural colors, features, and materials. People will instinctively always prefer natural materials to ones that are artificial or foreign. Incorporating natural and local feels to a workplace will have employees feel a greater connection to the community and workplace.
