The choices we make can enhance our quality of life. Discussing his new book “Design a Healthy Home” Oliver tells us about the 100 ways to transform your space for physical and mental wellbeing in your home. You learn about all the unseen things that can have an impact on your space, whether you are renting or owning a home, putting mental and physical wellbeing at the forefront of your home design can really make an impact, and this book shows you how you can do this. By breaking the steps down into different chapters, like colour, light, sleep indoor quality, Biophilic Design, you will learn through each chapter investigates some of those things, looking also at pollutants and more.

THE COURSE - Biophilic Design in the Home

The energy behind this new course is to encourage more people to learn about and embrace the Biophilic Design movement. Many more people understanding what Biophilic Design is, it is still very much a new and exciting emerging subject. For a while now, commercial spaces have appreciated the business case for supporting Biophilic Design, in that when you have elements of nature in a space, it reduces stress, aid recuperation and has a result in lots of spaces that are important to our lives. There are 3 levels to Oliver Heath’s Biophilic Design in the Home course, history, evolutionary idea behind it, level 2, taking that idea forward, explains what the 14 patterns are behind Biophilic Design, including direct, indirect references to nature and the human spatial response and their importance also to the future of the home. Level 3 includes a live consultation with Oliver.

INTERIOR DESIGN DECLARES - At 00:27:05 Oliver tells us about a new initiative for Interior Designers, called “Interior Design Declares”, where designers have signed up to a 12 point pledge, to help mitigate the impact of the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. Every purchase, every choice, every decision, refurbishment, connection with a person has an impact and interior designers need to step up to the plate and recognise we have a role and an opportunity. It's a very exciting campaign for like-minded people to be involved with. It's open to designers and also materials suppliers to sign up and network. It's a place to have a voice, to discuss how the buildings in our lives affect our planet. In the second of our videocasts with Oliver Heath, we discuss how nature should be considered a fundamental element for the continuation of human life.
