How do you design offices that support focus and well-being?

An office is not just floor space to fill with desks. It is an environment that affects the attention, fatigue and mood of the people who spend their days there. Our approach draws on neurodesign, which applies the principles of neuroscience to interior design, and on biophilic design.

Creating zones by use

• Quiet spaces for focused work, away from circulation routes.
• Places for exchange and meetings, open or enclosed depending on needs.
• Break areas where people can genuinely switch off.
• Clear circulation that avoids needless interruptions.

Light, acoustics and nature

Natural light should reach as many workstations as possible, supported by suitable task lighting. Absorbent materials reduce reverberation in open spaces. Plants, wood, natural textures and earthy tones help create a calmer climate that favours concentration.

Real projects

In Lausanne, we designed the offices and shared spaces of UNIL. The Le Voyageur Office project applies neurodesign to well-being at work. Each workplace is different, so the layout always starts from the activity of the organisation rather than from a standard model.

We start by analysing your teams and how they work, then propose a concept, plans and a materials palette, before coordinating the realisation.

Key takeaways

• Distinct zones for focus, exchange and breaks.
• Natural light, acoustics and nature support attention and well-being.
• Neurodesign starts from how your teams actually work.
