eg: Consideration of views, gardens, water, use of natural materials such as timber, stone, space/orientation, seasonal densification.
The Inverloch House in Victoria incorporates the Biophilic principle of ‘Refuge’ – designing areas of retreat and withdrawal, nurturing a sense of protection, healing and rest. Visual connection to nature, unimpeded views along with the use of timber provide the perfect biophilic experience.
