THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SPACES WE LIVE AND WORK IN

The feeling of a beautiful home is driven by the people who live there and it is no secret that the environment we live in has an effect on our mood, energy levels, productivity and attitude.
A space where you feel relaxed, comfortable, organized and at peace creates
the foundation for success in all key areas of life.
Design is not just about taking pride to impress the guests while entertaining. If the spaces we live and work in are appropriately designed it will contribute to our sense of wellbeing for both body and mind.

This is equally valid to your business. If your employees feel comfortable and happy they are more productive, deliver higher quality work which in return creates higher revenue, credibility and success for your business.

What is wellbeing in Design - Framework for Design Excellence

Good design supports health and well-being for all people, considering physical, mental, and emotional effects on building occupants and the surrounding community.

  • Design to encourage a healthy lifestyle
  • Design to provide greater occupant comfort 
  • Design to be welcoming and inclusive for all
  • Design to connect people with place and nature 
  • Design to reduce hazards to occupants and communities throughout the supply chain

Healthy Workplace Design

The workplace is recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a key avenue for health promotion with leading workplaces integrating workplace HS&W prevention and promotion.
The impact of improved worker wellbeing increases organisational performance and positively affects the wellbeing of others at work, at home and within the community.

Work is the most effective means to improve the wellbeing of individuals, their families and communities.

  • Well-designed work is good for health and good health is good for work.
  • Workplace culture plays an important part in HS&W of employees. Positive workplace cultures have lower accident and injury rates and fewer injuries resulting in lower compensation rates.
Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space...
On the one hand it's about shelter, but it's also about pleasure.
