Better products, transparency & innovation
To bring about a transformational change for our environment to be ecologically restorative, it is important to be mindful of our actions at every step of the process. Design has a strong ability to influence sustainable lifestyle and foster health and wellness.
At GH Commercial, we recognise the powerful role design plays in impacting the culture, productivity, state of mind, and long-term sustainability. We are committed to creating better interior spaces by using safer and healthier materials in our products and avoiding chemicals of concern.
Design Principles
We use biophilic design principles to create a human centred approach that when applied improves many of the spaces that we live and work in today, with numerous benefits to our health and well-being.

Stimulating the Senses
Biophilia is a term popularized by American biologist Edward O. Wilson in the 1980’s, when he observed how increasing rates of urbanisation were leading to a disconnection with the natural world. With high rates of migration to urban settings in the developed world and soaring rates in developing countries – Biophilia is of ever increasing importance to our health and well-being in the built environment.
Biophilic Design uses these ideas as principles to create a human centred approach that when applied improves many of the spaces that we live and work in today, with numerous benefits to our health and well-being.
Biophilia (meaning love of nature) focuses on human’s innate attraction to nature and natural processes. It suggests that we all have a genetic connection to the natural world built up through hundreds of thousands of years of living in agrarian settings.
