Biophilic design
A green workplace must have the power to boost moods, performance and wellness in your workplace. It required the specific atmosphere where humans have an innate need to connect with nature, and when that connection is achieved, it leads the way for better health, concentration, creativity, and work productivity.
MQ Architects use the following elements in this workplace:
• Natural Light:
Allow sunlight to penetrates evenly into the work space from high glass windows, glass doors, and skylight. It breaks and illuminates the long passage way, having a positive and rejuvenating effect on the space.
• Water: A lily pound is introduced at the entrance to provide a tranquil sense to the whole design.
• Indoor plants: Indoor plants were introduced to improve air quality, boost ventilation, reduce toxin levels in the air and making the space appealing, serene and exhilarated.
