Nature-Inspired Study: Working by the Window

A biophilic designed study. The desk is not facing a wall but is sideways to the window, so when working, one can simply look up and turn to see the trees and distant view outside, allowing the eyes to regularly shift from the screen to the distant green. The window is openable, currently half-open with a gentle breeze coming in. The desktop is a single piece of solid wood, retaining its natural edge. There are three plants with different leaf shapes on the desk and shelves, one of which is a herb that can be picked. Behind is a solid wall and bookshelves, providing a sense of shelter. The walls are lime-plastered, and the floor is solid wood. Lighting is primarily natural light, supplemented by an adjustable desk lamp. A small leaf from outside has fallen onto the floor near the window. Avoid: having the desk directly face a wall with no view outside, using fixed unopenable windows, adding artificial plants, using cold white uniform lighting.

一間親自然設計的書房。書桌不是面壁而是側對著窗,因此工作時只要抬頭側轉就能看見外面的樹與遠景,眼睛可以定期從螢幕轉移到遠處的綠色。窗是可開啟的,此刻半開有微風進來。桌面是一整塊實木,保留自然邊。桌上與層架上有三株植物,葉形各異,其中一株是可以摘的香草。背後是實牆與書架,形成庇護。牆面是石灰塗料,地面是實木。照明是自然光為主,加一盞可調的桌燈。地上有一小片從窗外落進來的葉子。避免:讓書桌正對牆面看不見外面、使用固定不可開啟的窗、加入人造植物、使用冷白的均勻照明。
