Struggling to focus and concentrate? You are not alone. Modern life overloads our minds. Emails, screens, constant noise. ➡️ Result: fatigue, stress, reduced productivity.
Kaplans’ Attention Restoration Theory discovered that time in nature restores attention. It gives our minds a chance to rest and refocus. The carousel below looks at how Biophilic Design can bring natural benefits indoors to support wellbeing at home and in our workplaces including:
- Directed Attention Fatigue
Constant concentration and focus wears us down. Biophilic Design introduces natural forms and views, reducing cognitive load and easing stress. - The Power of Fascination
The gentle yet chaotic movement of nature gently captures our attention without effort. Features like water, plants, and natural patterns provide this "soft fascination," giving the mind a restorative pause. - Being Away
We restore best when mentally stepping away from tasks. Breakout spaces with views onto greenery or rooftop gardens create micro-restorative moments within the workplace. - Extent & Coherence
Immersive, connected natural settings help us reset. Designing spaces with layered planting, natural materials, and fluid layouts supports this sense of wholeness. - Compatibility
We thrive in environments that align with our needs. Biophilic design ensures spaces not only look beautiful but also function to support focus, wellbeing, and collaboration.
By weaving nature into the built environment, we can create places where attention is restored, stress reduced, and people truly thrive.
