🌿 Have you ever wondered why you feel calmer near a window, or more focused around plants?

That’s biophilic design in action — a concept rooted in our deep, evolutionary connection to nature.

Long before it became a buzzword, ancient architects knew the power of natural space: Persian gardens, Roman atriums, Japanese interiors — all designed to let nature in.

In the 20th century, Frank Lloyd Wright made it personal by designing the Fallingwater House. Today, biophilic design shapes schools, hospitals, and workspaces — not for looks, but for well-being.

It’s not just about greenery — it’s about designing with air, light, texture, and life.
Because in a digital world, nature is not an escape — it’s home.
