Trend: Sustainable Experiences

Architects and Interior Designers must collaborate to create public experiences that highlight sustainability features in insightful ways to educate guests and influence them to implement similar features into their own spaces.

Over the past few years, consumers have become more interested in sustainability and it is important to take action now to help better our planet.

Embracing the “Unfinished”

When creating new spaces, a new design tactic has been to skip the fluff and keep the interiors raw. This means skipping out on wall finishes, floor coverings, unnecessary accessories, etc.

By keeping a space raw, users are focused on the sole purpose of the experience rather than being drawn to the spaces, potentially highlighting elements of the experience without aesthetic distractions. (talk about human connection to imperfections).

Biodiverse Design

Designing with BioDiversity is as simple as building exterior elements within an interior, such as plants, foliage etc. By doing so users can experience a connection with the familiarity and comfort of nature within an enclosure that could be in an environment scarce of plants or wildlife.

Biodiverse elements can also be used to sustain users, and offer health benefits in areas that may need them. (talk about what you can add in the space that gives users health benefits)

Second Life Materials

Tying into embracing the “unfinished”, recycled materials such as clothing, textiles, and structural scraps can make for great additions to designing a space. By using second hand materials, designers can create a type of storytelling where users can imagine where the materials are from, and or how old they could be.

Recycling is vital to sustainability and most people wouldn’t tie this into Interior Design. There is opportunity to refinish and adjust materials when needed, helping to also cut costs when compared to purchasing new.
