Biophilia Matters

Exploring plant and fungi based innovation and appreciation

We are a transdisciplinary design studio discussing, creating and sharing inspirational ways to grow and interact with nature.

We offer creative and technical solutions for multimedia content production and strategy, urban farming designs, and a full spectrum of biophilic design applications.

What does Biophilia mean?

Biophilia refers to our innate connection with nature.

Why does Biophilia matter?

Being connected to nature has mutual benefits for human and environmental health and well-being. Increasing urbanisation, industrialisation and ecological concerns make this a topic of current and rising importance.

Innovation in cannabis cultivation is revolutionising modern farming

And we're here to capture it in high resolution.

Services

Our expertise blends traditional agency, product development and consultancy roles

Multimedia Content Production

From our Amsterdam studio we are constantly testing new ideas and formats for enhanced storytelling. This includes photography, video, audio, text, sculpture and interactive media.

We offer custom content production, consulting for developing content strategies and design systems, and expertise in optimising media for various audiences, platforms and use cases.

Urban Farming and Grow Systems

Having the knowledge and ability to grow your own resources right where they are needed is incredibly empowering, and is key to developing self-sufficient communities.

We'd love to help realise the urban farm of your dreams, from concept to installation, through to brand development and community engagement.

Full Spectrum Biophilic Design

Environments that integrate elements of nature have been proven to reduce stress, boost creativity, clarity of thought, and healing processes; and to nurture spaces that are loved by its occupants.

We take biophilic design beyond office interiors and apply these principles to diverse projects, spaces, products and experiences.

We specialise particularly in timelapse, because this is a medium that allows us to see nature in ways we usually can't.

Through timelapse, we can see other organisms more like we see ourselves, with character, body language, and their own individual story.

Urban Farming and Grow Systems

We build custom ecosystems for food, fun, medicine and education.

Our systems are designed to challenge current agricultural standards with a more personal, mindful and exciting approach.

We like to use locally sourced repurposed materials not only because this is a sustainable practice- it's also more interesting. Second-hand objects have proven enduring qualities, and a history and character of their own. This provides the foundation for a lasting and engaging relationship with these pieces that you can’t get from mass-manufactured plastic.

By combining IOT, greenhouse and entertainment technologies we can create fully controlled, integrated and monitored environments that are tailored to fit your needs.

Sound, lighting, theatrical and landscaping features all play a role in this urban farming showcase. This attention to the aesthetics brings these pieces beyond mere functionality and into something that’s simply beautiful and a complement to any space.
