Aiming to make work spaces that encourage users to take breaks and create healthy habits avoiding a sedentary lifestyle and reducing screen times; I looked at modern offices that are designed with a user-centered approach in mind.

The architects’ own studio and home. Efficient use of a small space, with a limited material and colour palette which successfully creates an inspiring and productive environment to work in.
