Most people spend most of their time indoors in today’s fast-paced, urban world, surrounded by concrete and other artificial materials. It has become increasingly important to incorporate green spaces into our homes. Besides creating a calming and visually appealing environment, they also provide numerous physical and mental benefits.
Project Name: The importance of indoor green spaces
Studio Name: Ds2 Architecture
Ds2 Architecture has always put the wellbeing of its users first. Green spaces act as natural air filters, removing pollutants from the air we breathe. Carbon dioxide is absorbed by leaves, stems, and roots of plants, which release oxygen, and harmful toxins are neutralized by soil. A home’s air quality can be greatly improved by incorporating green spaces, resulting in a more comfortable and healthier environment.
For those with limited space, vertical gardens are a good alternative. Plant vegetables, flowers, and even small plants on trellises or in hanging baskets. Vertical gardens are not only space-saving, but also visually appealing. The project where they did it was Davis Road Apartments.
Also, if you have a flat roof, consider turning it into a green roof. Add a layer of soil after installing a waterproof membrane. Creating a green roof is not only beautiful, but it also provides habitat for wildlife, reduces stormwater runoff, and regulates temperature.
Incorporating more green spaces into the design of your home will allow you to benefit from nature’s many benefits. By creating a harmonious living environment for you and your family, these green spaces will reduce stress and improve air quality.
About Ds2 Architecture: DS2 is a multi-disciplinary practice based in Bengaluru, Kochi & Mangalore found in the year 2006 by Ar. Mueen Haris. What started as only a design studio evolved to provide turnkey solutions to bridge the gap between the drawing board and the craft.
Their fundamental design principles are driven from the context and client aspirations. All the design propositions are well informed by the place, functionally resolved and aesthetically blended or muted. Hence, asserting that the practice is not language driven. They believe that architecture should be more about the spatial experience rather than the visual impact. DS2 disregards the idea of a creative genius.
