However small or large a garden is, natural light will be possible with a Garden Office. This is a bespoke space so windows can be placed to suit you and sliding or bifold glazed doors let the light in whether open or closed. Natural light in the workplace affects a number of health aspects like mood, sleep, vitamin D levels, and eye health–and it heightens productivity levels.
A study by Future Workplace found that the absence of natural light and outdoor views hurts the employee experience. Over a third of employees feel that they don’t get enough natural light in their workspace. 47% of employees admit they feel tired or very tired from the absence of natural light or a window at their office, and 43% report feeling gloomy because of the lack of light.
Natural light combined with improved air quality is the best combination to improve wellbeing. Not only is there no pollution from a commute, but working from a Garden Office will allow easy access to natural light and improved air quality. For example, one frequently cited Harvard study showed that improving air quality caused mental cognition to soar. But the Future Workplace Employee Experience Study found 78% of employees say access to natural light and views improves their wellbeing and 70% report improved work performance.
Working close to nature reduces stress, so the advantage of having your garden literally on your doorstep is a boost for mental health whether it is a large garden or a few of your favourite plants in pots, the best part it is all designed around your own personal requirements.
