Wellness in the office: terraces and chill-outs that recharge your energy

Did you know that work environments with common areas, such as terraces, can increase productivity by up to 15%? According to a study by Cornell University, exposure to natural light also improves general well-being and reduces eye fatigue. In today’s coworking spaces, common areas are designed not only for relaxation, but also to encourage people to connect and recharge their energy.

In a coworking, common areas are not simply transit zones: they are spaces designed to promote both the connection between people and mental disconnection. Do you want to know why? Read on!

Terraces with panoramic views are one of the great attractions of modern coworking spaces. Studies by the University of Exeter confirm that spending time outdoors, especially in natural light, improves mood and reduces eye fatigue caused by screens. In addition, these spaces are ideal for healthy practices such as gentle stretching or mindful breathing exercises that help to release accumulated tension and improve concentration.

Similarly, dining kitchen offices are more than just a place to eat: they are spaces for socializing where you can exchange ideas with other professionals while recharging your energy. These informal moments are often the beginning of collaborations and projects.

Comfortable sofas, cozy corners and good natural lighting can turn a 10-minute break into a revitalizing experience. According to a Harvard study, working in spaces with access to natural light can improve employees’ sleep quality by up to 46%. This, coupled with ergonomic design, creates an environment conducive to recharging both physical and mental energy.

Using common areas for healthy activities can make a big difference in your well-being. Some ideas include:

• On the terrace: you can do gentle stretches to improve circulation or practice short mindfulness exercises. Breathing deeply while enjoying the view can also help reduce stress.
• In the dining room: opt for healthy snacks such as fruit or nuts, and take advantage of the moment to disconnect from screens while practicing mindfulness.
• In the break areas: try a 10-15 minute power nap to revitalize body and mind, or enjoy a short session of relaxing reading.

These small actions not only help improve your well-being, but also increase your productivity by allowing you to return to your tasks with more energy and mental clarity.
