Biophilic design is an ever-evolving concept that can extend beyond aesthetics and material choice to sustainable practices, energy-efficient technologies, and sustainable materials. Ultimately, a built environment that offers a connection to the earth and nature has been shown time and time again to have a positive impact on wellbeing.
The design and colours curated for the carpet and upholstery on each level of the Wurriki Nyal building were designed in collaboration with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, to represent different aspects of Wadawurrung Country.
Carpet planks from the Lichen 1.5 Collection by GH Commercial met the brief for an education flooring solution that would help deliver a learning space that was both beautiful and inspiring.
The design of educational spaces should enrich and support the learning process. When looking specifically at flooring choices, the product needs to be able to withstand the wear and tear of daily use and support good acoustics whilst also being cost-effective and achieving the desired aesthetic.
