Now we know. What worked in co-working spaces works even better in the home. Gone are the days of the forgotten guest bedroom and dusty study. The home office is no longer a single room, but one setting in a day filled with interactions, multi-tasking and recharging.
“The focus of our projects is ‘how do we make people feel comfortable, safe and secure?’,” said Ly over a Zoom call in New York City. “We use different strategies like biophilic design, which we bring into almost every project, and the psychology of space, and what it can do for people in a positive way.”
Chau: It’s about problem solving — thinking about the challenges and issues of a place and solving for it in a beautiful and functional way.Ly: Biophilic design is about connecting people back to nature and how that plays with all of your senses. It’s not just having plants nearby and seeing plants. There are so many other things about it. Above all it’s a way to promote calmness and reduce stress. So if you take into account the sound of water, or fresh air, like opening a window next to you.
Chau: I think that depends. The office is a place where you’re doing things, and you’re working. A desk might be the way that the majority of people work, but not how everyone wants to work. Think about if you need to work with a computer or a surface, or if you’re aging. How will you incorporate other forms of work while offering different kinds of seating positions? We need to think of the different ways our home can become an office.
