DESIGNING HEALTHSCAPES

Creating outdoor spaces that harness the health benefits of nature and foster a restorative relationship between people and the natural world.

Undertaking prescribed activities in nature for wellbeing is only half of the answer ~ the type of outdoor environment available is the other half.

Natural spaces allow us to escape; they afford novel opportunities to smell, hear and feel something different from the places where we live, work and play.

Nature provides a restorative environment that can help individuals recover from stress and mental fatigue and shift an individual’s experience to a more positive one. It is encouraging that concepts such as biophilic and biomimicry design are becoming common practice.

NatureFix provides design advice that focuses on the science of nature connectedness and its psychological and physiological benefits. Our designs:

  • Creates enabling environments for practitioners: Designs that facilitate nature-based health interventions so healthcare workers can take their practice outside - for individual and group sessions. 

  • Recognises that not all nature is equal: Recommends natural features that are optimal for promoting health outcomes.

  • Amplifies the benefits: Integrates with NatureFix self-guiding audio program to increase individual’s psychological measure of nature connectedness for improved wellbeing.

  • NatureFix furnishings: Amplifies the health benefits of green spaces through novel connective furnishings e.g. sky seat or listening pod.
