Meeting not only their physical needs but also nourishing their mental well-being by fostering cultural expression. To achieve this we will focus on creating inclusive, safe, and overall resident-centered design to cultivate a community within our spaces.

The design integrates a strong brand image and wellness amenities such as a coffee bar, Rockwall, wellness rooms, and fitness spaces. An phone app better connects employees and their outside environment using features that engage socialization and movement in order to enhance employee wellbeing and environmental consciousness.

Interactive Art & App Interface App includes many features to better connect employees to their co-workers and office. Data collected is passively displayed to spark conversation.

Eco-Flex Screens Interactive displays that show live outdoor views and weather conditions. Screens can also host other content for entire office to engage in.

A workplace that connects employees to their physical space and outside environment empowers them to focus on their well-being.

Increased consciousness of the outdoor environment can make users more aware of these effects on the earth.
