The biophilic hypothesis proposes that most humans have a strong love of nature, in fact we long for it, and without connecting with it, our health could suffer. So, biophilic interior designs are an applied solution to appease this desire for nature by integrating natural elements and processes into the built environment.

Biophilic interior designs can be implemented in the community, at home, commercial buildings, or small-project level. And if done right, the design should trigger a strong positive impact on our health and well-being.
