“WALKING THROUGH THE BAMBOO PATH IS INTENDED TO BE MEDITATIVE, LIKE WALKING THROUGH A BAMBOO FOREST.” GAIAM OFFICE SIZE: 7,600 SQ FT LOCATION: L.A. CALIFORNIA COMPLETION: 4 WEEKS OVERVIEW: This design is
a satellite office for Gaiam, which is a well known health and wellness company. This design is centered on human connection with ourselves, with nature, and with one another.
HEAT GAIN IS RESOLVED THROUGH USE OF BAMBOO PLANTED ALONG THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN WINDOWS. IT ALSO SERVES TO CLEAN THE AIR BY TURNING THE CO2 INTO FRESH OXYGEN FOR WORKERS. THE BAMBOO PLANTS OFFER A TOUCH OF NATURE AND SERENITY FOR THE WORKPLACE. BY POSITIONING THE WORK, MEETING, AND BREAK AREAS NEAR WINDOWS, VIEWS TO THE OUTSIDE OFFER A MORE PRODUCTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT.
AT THE END OF THE BAMBOO WALKWAY IS A MEDITATIVE CHAIR. MEDITATION HAS BEEN PROVEN TO INCREASE FOCUS, REDUCE ANXIETY, BOOST CREATIVITY AND MEMORY, AND INCREASE GRAY MATTER. MORE GRAY MATTER CAN LEAD TO MORE POSITIVE EMOTIONS, LONGER-LASTING EMOTIONAL STABILITY, AND HEIGHTENED FOCUS DURING DAILY LIFE.
