Biophilic Design: Creating Spaces That Breathe

A semi-open space at Enrich Salon extends from the backyard, serving as a pedicure and lounge area. It is open on one side to invite gentle breezes and natural light, making the most of Bengaluru’s pleasant weather.

The styling stations at Enrich Salon are placed in a glass-enclosed pavilion, offering serene views of the surrounding greenery. The design ensures that even air-conditioned indoor spaces are flooded with diffused natural light filtered through the onsite trees.

Even the more private rooms at Enrich Salon, like this hair wash area, feature large windows with views of the garden. The rich red walls create a warm, intimate contrast to the vibrant green outside.

Our own studio is a prime example of our biophilic design philosophy. The workspace is housed in a structure that opens up to the surrounding landscape, with large glass doors that blur the boundary between inside and out.

The terrace of an office we designed features tall planters that create green walls, offering privacy and a strong connection to nature. This space provides a tranquil area for employees to take a break and recharge.

In this office, we used planters as dividers between workstation clusters. This not only improves air quality but also provides visual relief and a sense of calm, contributing to a healthier and more productive work environment.

These custom-designed storage units with integrated planters are a key feature in our biophilic office designs. They combine functionality with the benefits of nature, creating a workspace that feels both organized and alive.

This video, created for World Environment Day, encapsulates our design ethos. It shows how we draw inspiration from nature, select materials that carry memories of their roots, and imagine skylines that breathe and rooftops that become forests.

This graphic from our Independence Day campaign features a conservatory-like space, illustrating our commitment to building spaces that are chapters in the next century of freedom. The design is filled with light and greenery, creating a hopeful and restorative atmosphere.
