Located in the JLT district in Dubai, this 600 sqm office is designed to be a modern and chic shipping office. The transition from the entrance to the working area looks fabulous. Despite the building’s curved form, we decided to use broken and straight lines in the design.
The ceiling features wooden beams that guide the transition, while the flooring is covered with specially ordered carpet from Modulyss, a well-known company in the industry, that mimics the appearance of the wooden beams. The same design pattern is carried through to the reception desk, which has wooden beams in front of it. In the end, the project looks simple yet very professional.
Design in Details
In design, we bring characteristics of the natural world into built spaces, such as water, greenery, and natural light, or elements like wood and stone. Encouraging the use of natural systems and processes in design allows for exposure to nature, and in turn, these design approaches improve health and wellbeing. There are a number of possible benefits, including reduced heart rate variability and pulse rates, decreased blood pressure, and increased activity in our nervous systems, to name a few.
Over time, our connections to the natural world diverged in parallel with technological developments. Advances in the 19th and 20th centuries fundamentally changed how people interact with nature. Sheltered from the elements, we spent more and more time indoors. Today, the majority of people spend almost 80-90% of their time indoors, moving between their homes and workplaces. As interior designers embrace biophilia.

Incredible Result
Establishing multi-sensory experiences, we can design interiors that resonate across ages and demographics. These rooms and spaces connects us to nature as a proven way to inspire us, boost our productivity, and create greater well-being. Beyond these benefits, by reducing stress and enhancing creativity, we can also expedite healing. In our increasingly urbanized cities, biophilia advocates a more humanistic approach to design. The result is biophilic interiors that celebrate how we live, work and learn with nature.
