ABSTRACT
The demand for high-performance workspaces is on the rise as indoor environmental quality significantly affects human cognitive performance, comfort, and well-being. To meet this trend, designing regenerative spaces that enhance human performance has become essential. Biophilic design (BD) is a potential approach to foster biophilia within the built environment and improve human performance. BD uses natural elements to elevate human–nature connectedness within built spaces, providing numerous health and well-being benefits. By improving productivity, inducing creativity, relieving stress, and enhancing thermal comfort, BD aligns well with high-performance workspace indicators. This chapter explores how adopting BD can improve work performance, demonstrating that biophilic office designs with various elements have reported multiple benefits to occupants. Designers must understand the identified implications to incorporate BD effectively into high-performance workplaces.
