520			_aABSTRACT The innate desire and constant tendency of human beings towards nature, especially the desire to synchronize their living and working environment with nature, has a very long history. Biophilic design is a popular form of sustainable design because of its potential to contribute to human health, wellbeing, and productivity. Therefore, in this research, the effect of Biophilic design on users in the workplace will be examined. This study demonstrates whether biophilic design and the use of green space in offices can enhance workers' productivity by providing a high-quality, healthy, comfortable, and practical environment. Thus, the main aim of this thesis is to demonstrate how access to biophilic space can influence users' levels of productivity and improving their mental health and well-being. A mixed method is used, where a qualitative and quantitative method would ease in achieving the overall goal. The procedure was divided into two sections. First, a thorough examination of the history of biophilic design concepts and guidelines, as well as how they affect the well-being and productivity of users, was conducted. The second part concentrated on a cross-case comparison of the selected cases and how they adhere to biophilic design concepts, as well as supporting conversations and onsite random discussion with workplace users. Six construction office buildings were selected for this study to ensure optimal results. Two were selected from Canada and Indonesia due to the availability of complete and appropriate information, and the remaining four cases were selected from North Cyprus. Six cases were compared to one another and ranked according to their usage of biophilic patterns, revealing how well they followed the guidelines. Further, several users were selected for onsite random discussion from each selected local company. Findings demonstrate that all the cases received an almost perfect score for the biophilic design component, especially the international cases were the best example of a biophilic building. In each section, exhaustive efforts had been made to analyze and recover all patterns, and to properly articulate the merits and limitations of every approach. By highlighting each project's successes, hope to inspire future iterations that make better use of its unique features while addressing its flaws and maturing into a model of biophilic workplace design. In addition, it is an appropriate workplace, which improves users' well-being, imagination, and output. There are certain directions this study can take that will be beneficial to both the academic and professional communities. Key words: Biophilic Design, Biophilic Offices, Health and Well-Being, Productivity, Nature, Workplace.
