PAUSE: A Mindful Co-Working Space for Designers
Author : Vansika Jain, Harshith MN and Dr. Nischay Gowda
Abstract
The research explores Pause - a co-working space conceptualized to serve architects and interior designers. Rooted in principles of mindfulness, biophilia, and modularity, the space responds to the emotional and professional needs of creative individuals by offering diverse zones for retreat, ideation, collaboration, and focus. Design tools such as rolling drafting pods, modular seating, writable walls, and acoustic pods create a dynamic yet restorative atmosphere. Biophilic principles, including natural lighting, earthy tones, and live plant installations, are employed to reduce stress and boost productivity. This space acts as a hybrid between wellness retreat and creative incubator, encouraging movement, reflection, and collective exploration. Elements such as secluded sensory pods, writable partition walls, acoustic modulation, and zoning cultivate a workplace that aligns with both mind and material.
