How might we design a workplace improvement to support employees with generalised anxiety in New Zealand, ensuring they reach their potential?

In modern workplaces, employees with generalised anxiety often struggle to reach their full potential. Nature's Nest addresses this by creating a dedicated meditation space to support the mental well-being and work performance of employees with generalized anxiety in New Zealand. This space uses projection technology and sound control to create a peaceful, nature-inspired environment, providing a calming escape from the pressures of city life. Guided by the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), the design considers mental health needs, providing a welcoming and anxiety-reducing area to help employees succeed. The project explores how adding relaxation areas to workplaces can support mental health, enhancing employee potential.
