IWS. Biophilic Design brings nature into our homes, treatment rooms, and work spaces. We consciously create a multi-sensory closeness to nature in the interior, and thus the basis for unconsciously (re)connection with nature. The salutogenic effect is evident and fascinating.

Looking at positively charged natural scenes decreases people’s feelings of stress. The trigger for this effect can be the view from a window of a pleasant landscape or observing a constructed landscape brought into a room. What could that be? Let's think about it together. IWS. Biophilic Design offers an exciting framework for this.

Biophilic design promotes clarity of thought. Visual elements do not always have to be used to achieve this. Research shows that natural sounds can have a positive impact on cognitive performance. There are almost endless possibilities for implementation. Let us find the ones that suit you.

A series of experiments showed that subjects who looked at the color green before performing a task showed improved performance regarding creativity. Which shade of green works best for you? IWS. Biophilic Design has creative ways to find out.

By immersing ourselves in nature, we experience a variety of arhythmic stimuli: birds chirping, leaves rustling, and the smell of resin in the air. This increases our well-being. This contrasts with built spaces, where everything is predictable. ISW. Biophilic Design creates well-placed stimuli that can surprise us, making it an exciting project. Which concept works for you? Let's develop it together.

Scientific research reveals that nature being involved in the healing process of people recovering from surgeries results in a better and quicker recovery. In 1984, Swedish health design researcher Dr. Roger Ulrich provided the first globally recognized proof that the mere sight of trees leads to better health outcomes.

In the study conducted by Prof. Dr. Ulrich, which was published in the scientific journal Science, 46 patients underwent gallbladder surgery using a standard procedure and were given equivalent care and accommodation. There was one crucial difference in their recoveries: a group of patients looked at trees out of a window.

Prof. Dr. Ulrich was able to prove that the patients in the “tree group” healed quicker, experienced fewer postoperative complications, showed improved wound healing, needed fewer and weaker painkillers, and less of the patients suffered from depression. Since then, the main results of this study have been confirmed again and again in similar cases.

However, economic constraints often make it difficult to have a stronger connection to nature. But it does not have to be that way. With a good plan, big effects can be achieved with small means. Which effects are they? Find out with IIWS. Biophilic Design

People have always met on neutral ground, like wells and watering holes, when sharing resources. Today, areas modeled on this concept can promote social encounters, serve to exchange resources and ideas, and increase communication with others – all of which is of course in compliance with all building and fire protection regulations. Curious? Let's talk. IWS. Biophilic Design creates space for growth.
