Come home to Biophilic Delight a serene refuge where you can be apart of nature infinitum. In time when our health and wellbeing are top-of-mind, a home that incorporates biophilic design is exactly what is needed.
Biophilia, or “love of life”, is known to be beneficial for the health of residents both physically and psychologically increasing a sense of happiness and productivity.
Biophilia:
a human tendency to interact or be closely associated with other forms of life in nature; a desire or tendency to commune with nature; the rich, natural pleasure that comes from being surrounded by living organisms.
As you approach this home your consciousness move to another realm. A lush and verdant land welcomes you in and soothes your soul.
IBuilt in 1943, charm and character imbues a sense of nostalgia with soft arched doorways, classic built-in cabinets, a cozy brick fireplace, and large bay windows. Vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan invites a lively conviviality into the space.
Large windows face westward and skylights and solar tubes flood the space with a warm glow that helps support your circadian rhythms. French doors open east from the dining area and the master bedroom keeps you connected to the outdoors where all four elements of earth are represented: air, earth, water, and fire. A breathtaking scene unfolds of a lovingly tended landscape where more-than-human life thrives with hummingbirds, warblers, and the occasional owl who call this home too.
Gather community to roast seasonal vegetables on the Twin Eagle BBQ grill while sharing stories around the fire pit. Allow the lush garden and waterfall to envelope you in feelings of peace.
Eat your way through the seasons with this reverently cultivated edible landscape peppered with fruit trees (orange, persimmons, lime, apple, and plum) and pollinator habitat designed by a renowned landscape designer Rose in Bloom Gardens.
