Trifle*s Emma Morley gives a recipe for nurturing spaces
Where we work makes an impact on the way we feel, both mentally and physically. So how should designers approach making healthy spaces?
For many of us, the challenges of the last two years have highlighted the truth in Virgil’s words, “The greatest wealth is health”. As founder of workspace design firm Trifle* and having been recently diagnosed with the chronic condition Meniere’s disease, a vestibular disorder causing vertigo, disequilibrium, nausea and fatigue, among other unpleasantries, I have been thinking a lot about how workspaces can support people whose daily lives varies from the ‘regular’. I have also been talking to both traditional and alternative healthcare professionals and it would appear that we are seeing unsurpassed levels of individuals with physical and/or mental health issues. Architecture has the ability to impact how we feel, behave and even how we recover from illness.
