In today’s fast-paced world, office design holds the potential to heal, energize, and inspire. At Studio AsA, we believe that design should be intentional. As our work culture evolves, the need for thoughtfully designed, wellness-focused work environments has never been more urgent.
The Science of Space and Well-being
Research reveals that we spend over 90,000 hours at work in our lifetime. That’s nearly one-third of our lives. According to a 2023 Gallup report, 70% of employees said their office environment directly affects their mental well-being. In an age of burnout and high attrition rates, companies can no longer afford to overlook the role of spatial design in promoting employee satisfaction and productivity.
Intentional Design: The Silent Healer
We’ve seen firsthand that a well-designed space can act as a silent healer. Soft lighting, biophilic elements, ergonomic furniture, acoustic balance, and material palettes can significantly reduce stress, improve focus, and even encourage better interpersonal relationships.
Consider the findings from the World Green Building Council: Employees in green-certified offices report a 30% reduction in sick days and a 26% boost in cognition.
Our projects, whether for global companies or Indian startups, aim to balance form and function, aspiration and accessibility. A CEO’s cabin doesn’t just need stature, it needs soul. Meeting rooms need more than tech, they need psychological safety. Lounges, breakout areas, and even corridors can be infused with energy that reflects a company’s ethos and supports its people.
Designing for Emotion and Performance
The challenge of today’s workspaces is about emotional resonance. With hybrid work and digital fatigue becoming the norm, employees are seeking environments that feel intuitive, comforting, and energizing.
At Studio AsA, we start each project with a deep understanding of the people who will inhabit the space. Our design strategy goes beyond furniture and finishes as we tap into neuroscience, behavioural studies, and wellness design frameworks like WELL Building Standard and IGBC norms to ensure that our solutions are rooted in science and empathy.
Case in Point: A Quiet Revolution
When we designed the 15,000 sq. ft. workspace for a leading beauty distributor, Tarz, in Mumbai, we reinterpreted their Dubai office. With height-adjustable desks, wellness nooks, breakout areas, and custom-built partitions, we created an environment that allowed movement, choice, and moments of pause.
The result was a workspace that brought in luxury office design with sophistication.
We strive to give each project that rare integrity where beauty meets purpose, and where design is never incidental, but always intentional.
Why It Matters to Business Leaders
For business leaders, investing in intentional office interior design is a strategic one. A Harvard Business Review study found that companies who invest in employee experience outperform their peers by 4.2 times in profitability and 2.8 times in revenue per employee.
An exceptional office design is a brand ambassador. It tells your team that their comfort matters. It tells your clients that your company is serious about excellence.
