​What is a healthy place?


​Healthy places are visually pleasing, incorporate natural materials, encourage clean air, natural light, and organic design elements to help people feel a sense of well-being and lower stress levels. Healthy places allow space for movement during the work day, as well as areas for constructive relationships to form between co-workers. Healthy places fulfill the natural biophilic tendency to be close to nature and natural elements.

What inspires our design?

  • ​You, your employees, your clients, your site
  • Permaculture ethics and principles
  • ​Biophilia
  • Biophilic Design
  • EcoPsychology
