WORTH: 4 Ways Architecture And Design Are Turning To Nature

“Architecture and design are no longer leaving nature to the great outdoors,” Joann Plockova begins in her Worth article, 4 Ways Architecture And Design Are Turning To Nature. “Instead, it’s being welcomed into our homes with elements such as living walls, natural light and organic materials, colors and textures.”

Plockova sites SPAN project, August Moon, as an example of taking a harmonious approach with nature in its design. “The symbiotic relationship between nature and the built environment—biophilia—is at the very heart of August Moon’s design,” says co-founder, Karen Stonely. “Appreciating the surroundings and allowing their magic to flow through the home’s spaces was at the heart of what we wanted to achieve. Ensuring a sense of calm and the ability to enjoy the simple things was a pivotal inspiration.”
