You don't need much to bring in the benefits of Biophilic Design. You will create an environment where people really love to work there. It is the simple things. Wood tactile, character. Even facsimiles of wood helps to relax your eyes, relieves you more than just having white table tops. Even just an image helps, makes us feel more comfortable. One of the projects she is currently working on, she is bringing in a large scale landscape, huge print on a glass wall with big leaves, which has very interesting and positive effect on the whole space, it is a feature, you want to look at. Printing on see through materials, glass, acrylic. Simulated views, something our publisher Argenta Wellness understands and embraces. Why not give it a try? We also discuss RESET which is a certification for improved ventilation systems. Air quality, it’s important that you continually measure it. When you close windows, VOCs/ formaldehyde, particle matters, CO2 increase, making us tired, sick and causes our focus and energy to slip. Ultimately if you have a better ventilation system, you will save money on staff sick days, improve staff retention and therefore save on recruitment costs and so on.
