OHD designed and installed a Biophilic space at the Interface showroom in London. Our aim was to inspire visitors to use Biophilia within office design as research has proven than it can help to boost employee’s health and well-being, leading to improved productivity and creativity.
Prior to our designs, the space featured blank white walls and was dominated by a large meeting table that spilled onto the adjacent corridor. The main nature connection was via a rooflight, situated 2 storeys above. We were keen to show that Biophilic design could enhance any unloved space and was more about creative thinking than relying on large budgets.
Key Biophilic Concepts included:
These simple Biophilic features dramatically transformed the perception of the space as being one that could relax and restore but also offer privacy for meetings and phone calls. It changed the space from one that was occasionally used to the occupant’s favourite space in the showroom.
