Towering skyscrapers may feel like an antithesis of nature, but
that’s not the case for hotels embracing biophilic design. First
conceived by American biologist Edward Wilson in 1984, the term
refers to the relationship between man-made structures and the natural
environment. By allowing lush greenery to weave in and around
properties, such a design philosophy encourages wellness and
sustainability.
Prime examples can be seen in resorts that preserve a majority of the
trees on its original site as well as urban hotels that make greenery and
elements of nature an inherent part of their design. Aside from creating
an aesthetically pleasing space through the use of native plants,
biophilic design also improves the human connection with nature, and
in turn reduces stress and improves our wellbeing.

The brainchild of Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan, the upcoming 90-room resort is designed with Fari Islands’
beautiful landscape in mind; it's slated to open in the second quarter of this year. Lush greenery surrounds each

enjoy the blue skies and sea. Meanwhile, interiors feature natural fibres, rattan, and linen to blur the lines
between nature and man-made.
