About us
From the Journal to the Hub
The Journal of Biophilic Design is where it all began. As the leading voice bridging research, practice, and inspiration in nature-connected design, the Journal has built a global community of architects, designers, and changemakers who understand the power of biophilia to transform spaces.
But our readers asked for more than knowledge. They wanted a practical way to act on it—somewhere they could confidently source the right products, services, and partners to bring biophilic principles into real projects.
That’s why we created the Biophilic Design Sourcing Hub: the operational arm of the Journal, built to turn ideas into action and accelerate the shift toward healthier, nature-aligned spaces.
What We Do
The Hub is your one-stop platform for biophilic design solutions. Here, you can:
- Source off-the-shelf products from trusted and verified suppliers.
- Collaborate on bespoke designs that bring unique visions to life.
- Develop project-based solutions—whether it’s a lighting system, a green wall, or an entire cladding.
And because no two projects are alike, our Advisory Service is here to guide you toward the best options—both on and off the Hub—ensuring your project achieves its fullest biophilic potential.
Our Unique Biophilic Rating System
Every product featured on the Hub is evaluated with our pioneering Biophilic Rating System, created in collaboration with scientists and design experts. Assessed against 10 key parameters, each product receives a clear, science-backed score that helps you specify with confidence—knowing your choices are sustainable, authentic, and aligned with biophilic design principles.
Moving Design Forward
Our mission is simple: to make it easier for professionals to discover, specify, and deliver better, nature-connected solutions. Together with the Journal, the Hub ensures that biophilic design doesn’t remain an idea—it becomes reality.
