“Have a good work-life balance”
While the concept of work-life balance isn’t new, achieving it has become a challenge these days. Especially in today’s day and age, where work-fromhome has blurred the lines between personal and professional life, people are struggling to restore the balance. People are now spending more time in front of their laptops and skipping their breaks in order to finish their work. Consequently, we can see more individuals suffering from mental and physical health issues
How to define a good work-life balance?
It’s simple when you can fulfil all your work duties without giving up on your passions or hobbies, and still have the time that you like to spend with your friends and family, then you have an excellent worklife balance

CO-WORKING SPACE AND FITNESS AREA
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/32/4c/b1/324cb11bc9b20c2d0449703ac2707879.gif
The idea of co-working spaces has completely changed the way people work in recent years These adaptable, cooperative settings include a variety of features intended to boost productivity, cooperation, and work-life balance.
co-working space that has elevated creativity by incorporating a fitness centre on its property We will look at how this special pairing has helped both the coworking scene and the fitness fans inside it.
KEY THEMES
The key to boosting well-being is promoting and maintaining a state of optimal mental, emotional, and physical wellness. Here are some ideas that encourage wellness
LIVING
ENVIRONMENT
The co-working space is built on sustainable principles, from energy consumption to materials used, but also by designing around a space. We can benefit people's health and wellbeing By reducing stress levels and increasing productivity
DESIGN
By using elements inspired by the case studies, We can have an inflection of the space in the building and create a visual link within
INCLUSIVE FITNESS
Our mission is to create an Entertaining, Educational, social, inviting, functional, and innovative experience of uncompromising quality that meets the health and fitness needs of the 21st century
OPPORTUNITY
Opportunity is at the heart of development that new horizons are opened to individuals and communities to help them meet their current needs and future aspirations
WORKING OUT AT THE INDOOR VS. OUTDOORS
Pro: Controlled environment
Exercising in a gym or inside means you (most likely) have air conditioning and heat to make the air comfortable. You don’t need to worry about rain, snow or heat If you live in a city, escaping to the cleaner air inside a gym can also be a blessing for anyone suffering from asthma, allergies and other respiratory problems
Con: Cost
The monthly and annual fees for gym memberships vary widely depending on location, but the average monthly fee for a gym membership ranges from $40 to $50 Adding in initiation fees can bring the total to about $800 a year.
Pro: Access to facilities
At a gym, you can use saunas, showers and even spas. If you stop to exercise on your way to work, this can be a much-needed perk so you can get your workout in and get clean before heading to the office
Pro: Availability of group classes
Research shows that group exercise classes help to teach accountability while giving participants a safe and effective workout. Taking classes like yoga, Zumba and kickboxing may attract people who don’t like to run or walk outside
Pro: Improved mental wellbeing:
Compared with indoor exercise, a study shows that exercising in “natural environments” was linked to “greater feelings of revitalization and positive engagement, decreased tension, confusion, anger and depression” and more energy.
Pro: Improved mental wellbeing:
This one is simple -- outdoor exercises means exposure to the sun, which gives you vitamin D Our bodies need vitamin D to absorb calcium for strong bone growth
Pro: More strenuous, longer workouts
Outdoor runners tend to flex their ankles more and expend more energy when compared to treadmill runners Cyclists are also shown to burn more calories when riding outdoors
Con: Exposure to the elements
You are at the whim of mother nature when you exercise outside: snow, sleet, rain, hail, freezing cold, strong winds -you can’t control any of it If exercising outside is your go-to, you need to be prepared for any type of weather This also means that living in a city or highly populated area will expose you to air pollutants and possible allergens

SITE ANALYSIS LOCATION & ENVIRONMENT
LOCATED IN A GREAT PLACE
2A Langton Road
London, NW2 6QA
Rooted in a classic Northwest London neighbourhood. In a welcoming, flourishing and cultural community that values inclusion through respect and neighbourliness.

To the south is Queens Park For larger-scale experiences, Wembley Stadium, Brent Park, Brent Cross lie to the north. Also, this side of Brent Cross, is the Brent Cross Town regeneration effort being led by renowned operator, Argent This is supercharging the entire area as a low-carbon construction, renewably powered, ecofriendly destination with excellent schooling and exceptional sports facilities
SITE VALUE:
This part of London offers a valuable and vibrant community but also provides considerable and excellent value for the occupier. Total occupier costs are estimated to be 40% of previous workplace hot spots such as Old Street. This also means that locating to Store can offer up to 100% more space here than in the West End for comparable budget
CRAFTING IDEA TO 3D DESIGNING
Finding a location was a challenging task. I had a few offers but got rejected. I was looking for a space where there could be more natural light And Spcious.
The site has:
Open-plan and inspiring space
Relaxed neighbourhood setting. It offers a mix of residential areas, green spaces, and a lively high street.
The Techniques Used
1.To Generate a 3D Model of the Building Structure:
Visit site to take measurements and photographs of the existing building structure.
Utilize computer-aided design (CAD) software or other 3D modelling tools
2.
Study Materials for Selection:
Research various construction and design materials suitable for the project.
Consider the functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability of materials.
Look into case studies of similar projects to understand the success and challenges associated with different materials
3.Use Viewpoint Analysis for Colour Selection:
Analyse the viewpoints and perspectives gathered from web pages to understand the desired atmosphere and feelings associated with the space
Conduct a viewpoint analysis to determine the emotional impact of different colours.
Choose the primary colour for the space based on the collected data
3D RENDERING Software utilised
Outlining a workflow that involves several software tools for designing and visualizing spaces. Here's a breakdown of each step in your process and the software you mentioned
1) AutoCAD: Widely used for 2D drafting and drawing. It's excellent for creating detailed technical drawings, floor plans, and layouts

Conclusions
Being trapped sitting is the worst thing you can do for your physical and mental health
“All the sitting while you drive and work, plus unhealthy food, leads to decreased energy and poor sleep. our society needed to change.
For better work environment to promote wellbeing and work/life balance, every workstation is “active” – meaning members can walk, sit, stand, or wobble as they work.
Now, this doesn't mean a treadmill desk or a game of pingpong is for everyone. But even a little bit of activity is better than nothing, says Catrine Tudor-Locke, a researcher at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center.
Thank youvery much!
