What is biohabitability?

Biohabitability is an architectural philosophy that focuses not only on aesthetics but on caring for life in all its aspects. It considers ecological, economic, and social factors when choosing materials and designing spaces. Its goal is to create environments that benefit people, the planet, and the economy.

Key principles of biohabitability in offices

For offices, biohabitability focuses on three main pillars:

1. Sustainability: Using resources and materials that minimize environmental impact, allowing for sustainable workspace design.
2. Health: Promoting a toxin-free and pollutant-free environment.
3. Connection with Nature: Integrating natural elements to improve mood and productivity, or in other words, going back to basics. 😉

Benefits of biohabitability for workers and businesses

Incorporating biohabitability into office design benefits both employees and companies.

Impact on employee well-being

When spaces prioritize health and well-being, employees tend to feel happier and more satisfied at work. And what does this translate to? A better quality of life, resulting in a more motivated team. 🚀

Boosts productivity and creativity

Well-designed spaces that incorporate biohabitability principles stimulate creativity and productivity. Natural light, fresh air, and an organized space are a must.

Reduces stress and improves workplace atmosphere

A healthy environment helps reduce stress levels. Providing a comfortable and stimulating space fosters a more positive and collaborative work environment, resulting in a stronger organizational culture.

How to incorporate this concept in workspace design?

Now that we understand the theory, let's look at some practical applications. Here are some tips we use in Lexington business centers:

• Use eco-friendly and toxin-free materials in furniture and fixtures.
• Ensure spaces are well-ventilated and have access to fresh air.
• Prioritize bioclimatic design, maximizing natural light, saving energy, and improving employees' mood.
• Incorporate large windows and open spaces to optimize natural light.
• Add natural elements to office design to positively impact employees’ mental health.

Biohabitability trends in office design

With the rise of biohabitability, many companies are adopting new trends in office design. For instance:

Sustainable certified offices

More companies are prioritizing positive environmental impact by choosing sustainable offices. For this, they select offices with BREEAM, LEED, and WELL certifications, ensuring buildings meet certain health and sustainability standards.

💡 Did you know that Lexington offers sustainable certifications in our spaces at Diagonal 545 and Castellana 79?

Flexible spaces

Today’s offices are designed to promote collaboration and well-being, while still allowing private spaces for daily tasks. This trend provides employees with the flexibility to choose how and where to work, adapting to their needs.

At Lexington, we also ensure that companies choosing our flexible model feel comfortable and well-represented. One of our key services is workspace customization, meaning we adapt to each company’s specific needs. This allows our clients to shape their offices according to their growth plans, align the design with their brand identity, and create a workspace that reflects their essence while prioritizing employee well-being.
