Biophilic Design and Engagement for Healthcare Facilities
Practical, applied solutions for environments that support health and wellbeing.

About Charles
My career in design began more than 30 years ago as a representative for several contract furniture manufacturers. Since 1997, I’ve focused on providing a connection to nature and the outside world in healthcare environments. An EDAC certified professional, I collaborate with others to create rooms that support health and wellbeing with virtual skies and virtual windows manufactured by The Sky Factory. I believe these Biophilic Engagement Systems transform interior spaces and enliven our innate connection to nature, contributing to improved outcomes in healthcare.
