Since the beginning of humanity, people have turned to nature as a source of both inspiration and resources for crafting and building our gathering spaces. The recent growing interest in biophilic design reiterates this long and varied history - but things are a bit different these days. Historically, we have paid little attention to how our choices affect the health of the planet, looking instead for what nature can provide us, what we can use, take, consume.  A heightened consciousness of our impacts on the environment requires a more nuanced, conservation-minded relationship with nature. Our approach offers a biophilia that highlights and celebrates our connection to, and responsibility for, the natural world around us.
