ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the impacts of typical open-plan office working in relation to well-being, identifying the need for including restorative spaces in the modern workplace. Ideas are supported by an initial literature review to discuss the development of such restorative spaces, critically evaluating what combination of features could calm individuals through a multisensory experience combined with guided relaxation exercise. Working towards a specific workplace design installation, it presents the example of the “Aerie”, a bespoke portable and collapsible structure that can be empirically tested in different workplace areas, aimed at improving and maintaining personal well-being in the workplace with minimal loss in working time or productivity, discussion includes design parameters accommodating a range of interactive technologies.
