The World of Westloft Interiors

Biophilic Design

An approach to the built environment concerned with people's connections to nature.

The definition

What is Biophilic Design?

Biophilic design considers relationships with daylight, views, natural forms and other experiences of nature within buildings. Plants and natural materials may contribute, but the approach is broader than a decorative botanical theme. A picture of a leaf alone is not a complete biophilic strategy.

The Westloft perspective

In the World of Westloft

Start with the room's daylight and views, then add botanical art where it strengthens the atmosphere. Natural textures and thoughtfully placed greenery can support the composition.
