How to Design a Biophilic Community

Nestled in the Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, is Serenbe, the biophilic community leading the wellness real estate and agrihood movements. It is a neighbourhood focused on wellbeing, full of fresh food and fresh air. This community is set among acres of preserved forests and meadows with miles of nature trails that connect homes and restaurants with arts and businesses.

 Importantly it is a real-world example of Biophilic Design in a community development that can help us reimagine urban and town planning.

We speak with Steve Nygren, Founder and CEO who shares with us his love of biophilia and how this is woven through Serenbe, a beautiful and practical reimagining of how we can live in harmony with nature.

Rewilding our interiors

A fascinating conversation with consultant futurist Mark T Jones on what he hopes the future might hold for biophilic design, and what we, as individuals on this planet, could do ourselves to make our environments a whole lot better. He talks about symbolism in Africa and the connection to nature he’s witnessed on that continent. We also touch on vernacular imagery, the Knepp Wildland project, the rural paintings of Constable, prisons and how we might interpret ‘Mother Earth’.
