BIOPHILIC DESIGN
Sight, touch, sound of natural elements are proven to enhance human comfort and boost positive thinking and wellbeing.
Biophilia hypothesis, idea that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life.
THERMAL BALANCE
The proven science of passive heating and cooling has very old roots in human civilization.
Inside an Earthship conservatory rooms and large volumes of thermal mass and insulation contribute to temperature stability.
