Nature that activates your brain: neurolandscaping

The connection with nature is not only pleasing to the eye. Numerous studies show that being surrounded by natural environments has a positive influence on concentration, creativity and overall wellbeing. This integration of natural elements into the design of workspaces is known as neurolandscaping, a discipline that combines architecture, neuroscience and landscaping to create environments that stimulate and care for people.

How neurolandscaping works

The brain responds positively to natural light, shades of green, the presence of plants and organic materials. These elements help reduce stress levels, improve mood and boost creativity. Neurolandscaping is not limited to large interventions: it can range from vertical gardens and landscaped terraces to small planters on a desk or aromatic plants in shared areas. The key lies in integrating nature in a way that aligns with how the space is used.

Inspiring examples

At Madnum, the vertical garden is more than just an aesthetic feature. It brings freshness, improves air quality and creates a more relaxing atmosphere for those who work in the building.

At Sant Cugat Nord, the landscaped outdoor areas provide an open environment that encourages people to take a break, hold meetings or even work outdoors, enjoying the climate and direct contact with nature.

In other Colonial spaces, nature is also integrated on a smaller scale: plants in lounge areas, biophilic elements in meeting rooms or greenery on shared terraces add a natural touch and enhance the wellbeing of those who use them.
