An approach to architecture known as "biophilic design" aims to bring building occupants closer to nature. Natural lighting, ventilation, landscape features, and other aspects are incorporated into biophilic-designed buildings to improve occupant productivity and health.
An inspiring biophilic architecture example is BDP Architecture’s University of Essex Business School design. The property, which serves as a vital link between the Essex University campus that has been in place since the 1960s and the new Knowledge Gateway Research Park, is situated in parkland on a slope overlooking an estuary.
Essex Business School is the first zero-carbon business school building in the UK which emphasizes the significance of BDP’s innovative architectural design for the University of Essex.
In 2020, our client Heatherwick Studio led the charge for biophilic architecture, which involves using plants to make indoor spaces that nevertheless enable residents to maintain a connection to nature.
Our client Heatherwick Studio is well versed in this type of architecture having finished a 20-story residential tower apartment complex in Singapore named EDEN that is covered in vegetation since each residence has its own balcony-style garden. The studio even created a desk with plant holders for legs so that individuals could add greenery to their homes on a much smaller scale
Additionally, to this, when working on Maggie's Centre in Leeds UK, they designed a room with a timber interior that is flanked with greenery to ensure they had the right structure for plant pots. The centre is intended to give cancer patients a break with its grass-covered roof.
In Cubic Interactive, we care for our clients, and it is always great to see them achieve new successes along the way.
