Can the Interior design of our homes help us live longer???

Given that we spend an estimated 90% of our time indoors, and post pandemic much of this time is now in our homes, the key challenge designers face today is how to not only deliver built environments that are inclusive, multi-functional, adaptive and sustainable but that can also enhance the well being of those who occupy them.

“Every time you pass a pile of clutter it puts pressure on the brain, causing small but regular doses of stress.”

Clutter is the sock that belongs in an upstairs drawer but has been on the kitchen radiator for two weeks because you’re waiting to see if the second sock turns up.

Every time you see it, something inside you groans. That’s your brain, having a stress episode. Tidy the sock and your brain will find something else to stress about.  Writes Eleanor Flegg (The Irish Independent)  in conversation with Emma Webb

Emma guest lectures to 3rd year Interior Architecture students in Dublin and talks about talks about healthy interior design tools such as Wabi Sabi, Hygge, Biophilic Design, neuro/nudge architecture and active design which all focus on how we feel in a space (e.g. calm, stressed, focused, cosy) and how we respond to a space. Emma also give a brief introduction to the WELL Building standard. 

Emma guest lectures to 3rd year Interior Architecture students in Dublin on how to design healthy spaces using the 14 patterns of Biophilic design.

GUEST POST The Benefits Of Biophilic Design by Martin O’Callaghan of Wood Flooring Ireland.

I found this article on Houzz and thought I'd share it:

Wabi Sabi, Hygge and Biophilic Design all focus on how we feel in a space (e.g. calm, stressed, focused, cosy) rather than focusing purely on aesthetics.
