When planning your new or existing veterinary clinic, it’s important that the design and layout not only create an impact but are also functional and welcoming.
One design idea that looks great is functional and connects with the external space is a concept known as biophilic design.
Biophilic design is a concept that integrates nature into the built environment with the aim of creating connective spaces. Interiors are designed with ventilation and natural lighting and elements as key features to create a more productive and healthier workplace environment.
One example of biophilic design in action can be seen in this veterinary clinic’s entry and waiting area, where the large windows allow the natural light to filter into the space. The colours of the environment are also reflected in the furniture, flooring and timber façade.
There are many simple ways to integrate this design method into your vet practice:
Many studies have supported the idea that bringing nature indoors has a positive effect on people and animals that spend time in that space. So, it’s not difficult to make an argument for incorporating this concept in your next veterinary clinic fit-out or refurbishment, and it looks good.
By bringing the outside into your clinic you are providing a connection to nature for not only your patients but also for your staff. Research has also shown that people are more productive and have less sick leave if seated near a window or close to a window with views of trees or other landscapes.
