The office has purchased 6 Fluidstances for employees to share throughout the office. Fluidstance is a standing board that requires the user to focus on proper posture and an increase in range of motion. To learn more about the product, please visit www.fluidstance.com.
As offices and workspaces are increasingly designed to promote employee interaction (such as our own studio), occupants can experience decreased levels of privacy and acoustic comfort. Our studio has avoided these issues through strategic acoustical design and white noise.
Exposure to natural light can improve occupant mood, alertness and overall health. Ideal lighting involves proper exposure to diffuse daylight, as well as careful design of windows and glazing to avoid excessive glare and heat gain. Over three-quarters of the studio has access to daylighting.

AIR QUALITY
Adjustable seating is quite common in the typical office space. Providing employees the ability to adjust their seating accordinlgy avoids short term pain and future long term injuries.
Short naps are an effective and healthy means for improving mental and physical acuity, even more so than caffeine, which can disrupt sleep. The studio includes three quiet rooms. In addition to our quiet rooms, we also have several seating / library areas available for quiet contemplation and rest.
Despite minimal perimter glazing, our studio is able to maintain effective levels of natural daylight by adding 20 new skylights. Our architectural lighting also eliminates all glare, creating a safe, productive envionrment.
Globally, outdoor air quality is deteriorating due to pollution from traffic, construction, agricultural activity, combustion sources and particulate matter. Our office includes MERV 14 filters and quarterly maintenance.

BIOPHILLIA
You’ve probably heard, sitting is the new smoking as it can cut years off of one’s lifetime. Standing increases blood circulation and decreases the risd of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity. 98% of our staff has adjustable desks, promoting a healthy work environment.
We may not have a fitness facility onsite, however we have dedicated about 500 SF of space on our mezzanine to relaxation and fitness accomodation. The space includes relaxing chairs, yoga mats, medicine balls, resistance tools and weights.
Thermal control is naturally subjective and will forever be a battle in open environments. The studio complies with ASHRAE Standard 55-2010 for Ventilated Thermal Environments.
The studio has incorporated biophillia as a design tool through vertical plant walls, our out door patio, exterior perimeter landscaping and natural patterns throughout the office. This connection to nature is known to increase a positive mood and productivity.
