Going to work each morning can be an absolute drag but the Offices With Terraces architectural project, put together by Nicolas Laisne Associes, is designed to change that up by embracing natural light, greenery and fresh air.
This structure will include offices that open into small terraces, making them feel less like dungeons and more like wholesome and healthy working environments. These terraces make it possible to hold meetings outside while taking in the greenery that dots the building's facade. Corridors are moved to the outer edge of the building so that they remain functional without interfering with the building's aesthetic appeal.
Ultimately, the Offices With Terraces project aims to reinvent office architectural spaces by embracing, instead of shunning, the natural elements that are so vital to our health and mood.
