Proici Commercial Interiors successfully transform workplaces with biophilic design, utilising real and artificial natural elements to boost office wellbeing, productivity, and overall engagement.
Biophilic design, which literally means “love of life and living systems,” taps into our instinctive need for nature and with a reported 17million+ workdays lost per year due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety, workplaces that actively incorporate biophilia into their office environments are seeing a positive impact on both employee mental health and productivity levels. As office design is now a major influence on workplace acceptance, according to a study by Exeter University, biophilia can impact businesses as follows when actively incorporated into the workplace:
- 15% increase in productivity
- 37% reduction in anxiety
- 44% reduction in office hostility
- 58% reduction in reported depression
Proici integrate biophilic principles into every aspect of their workplace fit outs, helping to reconnect staff with nature through thoughtful designs that create environments that are calming, inspiring, and functional. Use of open layouts and glass partitions allow natural light to flow, while ventilation and acoustic treatments ensure comfort and productivity. Natural finishes such as timber, textured stone, and natural fabrics also help to provide warmth and visual interest and are cleverly interwoven within designs. A signature feature of their installations is the use of living and preserved moss, often used in wall panels, branded signage, and planters.
For spaces where living plants are impractical, Proici offer high-quality artificial greenery too and both options can be bought and rented. Renting not only provides flexibility for future re-designs, but also offers a financial advantage, as rental payments can be treated as a capital expenditure, allowing businesses to spread costs while still creating a striking, nature-inspired office environment.
Since 1998, Proici Commercial Interiors have focused on human-centred, sustainable design. By combining real and artificial nature, Proici proves that biophilic office design is not just visually appealing and eco-conscious, it’s also a smart, adaptable investment in people, performance, and the future of work.
Whether you’re exploring a new office, refurbishing an existing space or assessing a
potential location – large or small – Proici can help you make the most of your space and your budget.
