The Science of Space: Biophilic Design for Health and Wellbeing

Studies have shown that incorporating nature into the built environment can positively impact occupants’ physical and mental well-being. HLW and our in-house sustainability team, BEYOND, champion biophilic design principles to create healthy and inspiring workspaces.

How can nature be integrated into your workspace?

Natural light and ventilation: Maximizing natural light exposure and providing access to fresh air improves mood, cognitive function, and sleep quality.

Greenery and natural elements: Introducing plants, water features, or natural materials into the workspace reduces stress, promotes relaxation, and fosters a connection with nature.

Views of nature: Providing access to outdoor views, even through strategically placed windows, can significantly enhance well-being.

By blending science and design, we create workspaces that prioritize employee health and well-being, leading to a more productive and engaged workforce.
