Biophilic Bathroom Designs

Since the dawn of humanity, we have been intrinsically intertwined with the natural world. Before erecting monolithic hubs of urban design, we coexisted with nature in small communities where we hunted and mastered agriculture. Our reliance on the natural world only deepens our bond with nature. Even after building urban landscapes and creating new living environments, humans, at our very core, still crave and desire to spend each fleeting moment in the embrace of nature.Biophilia, a term coined in 1973 by psychoanalyst Eric Frohmm and later by biologist Edward O. Wilson, encapsulates our innate desire to connect with nature. With our busy modern schedules and mental health issues skyrocketing, it's no wonder homeowners near and far have gravitated towards biophilic designs in recent times.
