Biophilic Design Part 1

Biophilic design has reached maturity, extending its wings into ever more corners of the real estate and hospitality industry. Here we look at the residential real estate, architecture studios, mixed-use developments and workplaces pushing biophilia to new heights.

In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind, few.

SERVICES

Wellbeing strategy consultants

A human health and wellbeing strategy is no longer an optional extra for real estate developers in the residential and office sectors; the same can be said for operators such as coliving and employer brands.

Developing, implementing and reporting annually on a wellbeing strategy is now a fundamental part of any Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) plan at corporate level (in particular, the ‘S’ component).

We are experts in such wellness real estate strategies, working with developers and operators as trusted external advisors from initial planning through to fit-out and launch.

Healthy building plans

At the root of any healthy building plan is the concept of ‘salutogenesis’ - the promotion of health, rather than the avoidance of disease.

Just as we want to avoid Sick Building Syndrome, so we aim to enhance the productivity, concentration and sense of vitality of building occupants, while reducing stress, anxiety, absenteeism.

We do that by improving the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ, thermal health, lighting, ventilation rates, noise pollution, dust and pests, cleaning protocols, water quality, moisture, biophilic design to bring the outside world in and active design to stimulate healthy habits.

We align projects with WELL Building, FITWEL, Active Score, RESET and The 9 Foundations of a Healthy Building protocols.

Wellness real estate consultants

Wellness real estate leverages the scientifically proven health benefits of healthy building strategies such as biophilic design, active design, enhanced indoor air quality, promotion of physical activity, considerations for mindfulness and occupant mental health, lighting, nutrition and hydration, sustainable materials, as well as acoustic and thermal comfort to create not just buildings but potentially entire mixed-use communities geared for wellbeing.

As wellness real estate consultants, we advise developers and funds on how to integrate this concept into their destinations.

Hotel sustainability plans

We act as advisors for new build green, beginning with a sustainable site selection process and ensuring the sustainability strategy positively influences the architecture, interiors & fit-out to reduce environmental impact, primarily focused on energy, water and waste.

We also act as advisors for development teams once a hotel property is in its operational phase, again here opportunities exist to improve carbon impact, energy efficiency, waste management and water efficiency, as well as supply chain policies, a biodiversity plan, employee wellbeing and more.

We currently work with Green Key, EarthCheck and the Green Globe hotel certification systems.
