BIOPHILIC OASIS WORKPLACE

90 MOUNT AUBURN ST, CAMBRIDGE, MA, 02138 2022

The pandemic has significantly transformed work environments across various economic sectors. Research indicates that many employees prefer to continue working remotely even post-pandemic. This shift presents an opportunity for business owners to enhance workplaces, addressing employee concerns while fostering productivity and efficiency. Incorporating biophilic design—natural elements within office spaces—can significantly improve employee well-being and overall workplace satisfaction.

This design focuses on a biotech company, where scientists and researchers often spend extended hours in labs or at computers, leading to isolation from nature. Integrating biophilic elements in such environments can enhance exposure to natural surroundings, promoting both physical and psychological well-being.

- Seating area, featuring a variety of furniture styles, offers flexibility for individuals and groups to engage in different ways, whether for work, conversation, or relaxation.

- Community stair, seamlessly blending stairway and seating elements, serves as both a circulation path and an informal gathering spot, encouraging spontaneous interactions.

- Greenery is thoughtfully incorporated throughout the space, enhancing well-being, improving air quality, and fostering a connection with nature.

This project prioritizes functionality, exclusivity, and aesthetic appeal, creating a dynamic, engaging environment where people can work, socialize, or unwind in a welcoming, community-driven space.

The community stair is a versatile, multi-purpose space designed for all ages. By day, it offers a welcoming spot to relax, enjoy coffee, read, or collaborate on projects. It also serves as a playful area for children to explore.

By night, it transforms into a dynamic gathering space for watching sports, live concerts, and community events, fostering engagement and connection.
