The importance of biophilic design

Opening up living and working spaces to the outdoors is one of the top three reasons why clients seeking design solutions turn to GuildWorks.

Since we specialize in designing and building tensile structures using advanced architectural fabrics, these indoor/outdoor spaces have been a natural part of our core competencies. Referred to as biophilic design, this building-industry concept increases occupant connectivity to the natural environment. Studies show that people are more healthy, happy, and productive when nature is a part of their daily life. Now that there is a pandemic, biophilic design is also essential to building safe environments where people can interact, work, play, and live. 

In an early 2019 interview, Mar Ricketts, GuildWorks’ Principal and Founder was interviewed by Green Building Magazine and talked about this very thing! He stresses the importance of outdoor living and explains the creative options and sustainable, long-term solutions available when using architectural fabrics to create functional yet elegant environments. Read more here: https://gbdmagazine.com/guildworks/.
