What is Neurodesign and why do we use this approach?

Neurodesign is the application of neuroscience principles in interior design, with the aim of creating environments that foster emotional balance, improve cognition, reduce stress and promote psychological harmony. It is based on how the human brain responds to the sensory stimuli of the spaces around us.

Within this concept, biophilic design plays an essential role - by integrating natural elements such as light, vegetation, organic materials and nature-inspired forms, it enhances the positive effects of the environment on the brain, stimulating deeper emotional connections and contributing to a sense of balance and vitality.

At RK Interiors, we believe in the transformative power of design. With our multidisciplinary background - uniting engineering, project management and design - we combine expertise with the science behind spaces to create meaningful experiences.

Switzerland provided us with the clarity to strengthen our identity and consolidate the values that guide our work with confidence and purpose.

Each project is born from attentive listening to the needs, lifestyles and expectations of our clients, with the goal of generating a positive and lasting impact on how they live, work and feel their spaces.

Studies and Applications of Biophilic Design in Health and Well-Being Environments

Several studies demonstrate the benefits of integrating natural elements in the built environment, especially in healthcare contexts.

Pediatric waiting rooms:

A study led by Juan Luis Higuera-Trujillo, from Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), showed that the use of positive environmental stimuli in healthcare design can significantly reduce the stress of children and families while waiting for care.

Contact with nature in hospitals:

Research by R. Ulrich (2008) showed that patients with views of green areas experienced less pain and shorter hospital stays, reinforcing the importance of environments that connect patients with nature in the recovery process.

Biophilic design:

A central concept of neuroarchitecture, it seeks to integrate natural elements into the built space, promoting physical and emotional well-being. This approach, advocated by authors such as Stephen Kellert and Edward O. Wilson, values reconnection with nature as a therapeutic factor.

Main strategies of biophilic design:

Indoor vegetation

Plants improve air quality and convey a sense of calm.

Natural textures and patterns

Floral prints and nature-inspired shapes create cozy environments.

Natural materials

Wood, clay, cork and wool convey authenticity and comfort.

Abundant natural light

Regulates mood, improves circadian rhythm and stimulates productivity.

Earth tones

Palettes in shades of brown, green and blue evoke serenity.

Organic shapes

Curved and asymmetrical lines add lightness and fluidity to the environment.
