BIOPHILIC DESIGN

Biophilic design brings this connection indoors, creating a bridge between the built environment and the world beyond. Spaces reflecting the natural world support focus, productivity, and whole-person wellbeing. With so much of our lives spent inside, maintaining this connection is essential and must be thoughtfully integrated into every design decision.

At Katch Design Collective, we strategically integrate the 14 principles of biophilic design — from direct visual connections to nature to more subtle sensory cues — ensuring each space reflects the harmony of creation.

1. Visual Connection with Nature 

2. Non-Visual Connection with Nature 

3. Non-Rhythmic Sensory Stimuli 

4. Thermal & Airflow Variability 

5. Presence of Water 

6. Dynamic & Diffuse Light

7. Connection with Natural Systems 

8. Biomorphic Forms & Patterns 

9. Material Connection with Nature 

10. Complexity & Order 

11. Prospect 

12. Refuge 

13. Mystery 

14. Risk/Peril
