BIOPHILIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Biophilia is the idea that humans are naturally drawn to “affiliate” with nature – to seek out green plants, flowers, animals, flowing water, and views of the natural world. Jackson is blessed with abundant access to the outdoors and breathtaking vistas of mountains, forests and rivers. Our ecoblock looks out over golden aspen trees, sage-covered buttes and snow-capped mountains. We need only follow the exampleofthelocalenvironment.
