What is the reason for implementing biophilic design at FUNN?

 - Introduce restorative spaces

 - Increase the creativity and productivity of the employees

 - Reduce the number of absences from work

 - Make the workspace more welcoming.

 - More connectedness to nature and create more awareness

Before starting with the analysis of employee performance data, absenteeism and sick leave, complete fieldwork and research was done for this project.

We create human-centered spaces, where Biophilic design plays a big role on creating for People/Planet focused ecosystems.

The focus of this company is to have flexible, remote-working. So,  our task was to bring together Wellbeing projects and Hybrid-working.

These were the elements we focused on:

- Personalities

- Daylight

- Views

- Temperature 

- Air movement

- Sound

- Inquisitive

- Movement

- Socialising

- Contemplative

- Greenery

- Scents

This restorative spaces has the potential to not only create areas in the office for well-being care, but also to act as a reference for potential talent that the organisation is aligned with their changing value.

Research has found that when applying Biophilic Design to the workspaces, absenteeism is reduced by 15% and there is also a 15% higher level of wellbeing . On top of that, a study by the CBRE found that the addition of plants in view of each work-space led to a 76% improvement in energy levels, with a 10% improvement in task performance.

At Habitarmonia, we care about people and well-being, having an impact on the positive perfomance for the people and the planet!
