A Holistic Approach to Nature-Connected Spaces
At Arco de Iris, I help wellness entrepreneurs, conscious business owners, creatives, and homeowners design spaces that feel alive, grounded, and deeply connected to nature.
My approach blends biophilic design, sustainability, and sensory elements to create environments that enhance well-being, inspire mindfulness, and restore balance.
I offer consulting and interior design solutions tailored to your unique needs—whether you're creating a healing retreat, a soulful café, an inspiring workspace, or a personal sanctuary.
How We Work Together
I believe that creating a space is not just about aesthetics—it’s about crafting an environment that supports well-being, fosters mindfulness, and reconnects us with nature. My approach to biophilic interior design is holistic and immersive, blending science, intuition, and sustainability to create soulful, nature-connected spaces.
Discovery & Intentional Visioning
Every project begins with a deep dive into your needs, desires, and emotions related to your space. Through guided meditation and visualization exercises, I help you tap into the energy of your ideal environment, uncovering what truly nourishes your well-being.
Sensory & Spatial Audit
We explore how your current space feels, sounds, and flows, identifying sensory imbalances that may be affecting your comfort and energy. I analyse light quality, air circulation, acoustics, and tactile experiences to create a foundation for a more harmonious space.
Moodboard & Concept Development
I translate our findings into a biophilic moodboard, capturing the textures, colors, and natural materials that will bring your space to life. This step ensures that your design reflects not only aesthetics but also emotional depth and purpose.
Biophilic Floorplan & Spatial Strategies
Using biophilic principles, I design a functional floor plan that integrates nature into your space. Whether it’s maximizing daylight, incorporating natural flow patterns, or framing views of greenery, the layout is carefully curated to promote balance, relaxation, and connection.
Furniture & Material Selection
With sustainability at the core, I source ethical, high-quality materials and furniture that align with your vision. From reclaimed wood to natural textiles, every piece is selected for its sensory impact and environmental footprint.
Visual Presentation & SketchUp 3D Modeling
I bring the design to life with a detailed SketchUp presentation, allowing you to visualize your transformed space in 3D. This interactive step ensures that you feel aligned and inspired before moving into implementation.
Implementation & Follow-Up
Once the design is finalized, I support you through the entire implementation process—from furniture installation to styling details. I oversee the transformation to ensure that every element aligns with our vision, creating a space that feels as good as it looks.

"We had an amazing experience working with Iris. She guided us through the design process from start to finish while continually centering wants and visions.
Iris taught us about biophilic design without overwhelming us with information. She held a consistent, gentle curiosity as she got us to refine our vague ideas into detailed, concrete concepts.
When we felt lost, she was able to provide options and visuals to help us better discover and articulate what we were looking for. As design novices, we came into the process with very little understanding of the process, and Iris was wonderfully patient while clearly directing the flow of the work, ensuring we stayed on track and made progress. We were thrilled with the final design presentation she prepared for us.
We recommend Iris not just for the final product she produced, but even more so for the experience she provided us and her ability to guide us through the process."
