Greenery as a source of wellbeing and a way to organise outdoor spaces

The terrace at Odosdesign’s offices is designed as an extension of the workspace—a place to change scenery, hold informal meetings or simply enjoy a break during the working day.

The strategic placement of planters with natural greenery creates distinct areas while organising the space in a flexible way. The plants help define zones for relaxation, meetings and informal breaks without the need for fixed partitions, preserving the terrace’s openness and visual continuity.

Beyond their organisational role, the plants bring freshness, colour and a sense of movement to the space. Their shapes and textures soften the environment, creating a warmer and more inviting atmosphere while strengthening the connection with nature in the workplace.

This connection with nature can also enhance the quality of break times. A study involving office workers found that taking a 15-minute walk in a green space during the lunch break was associated with improved concentration and reduced feelings of fatigue throughout the afternoon. In this context, having an outdoor space with greenery can encourage more restorative breaks and help people return to work feeling refreshed and with a greater sense of wellbeing.

Thanks to the modular design of the planters, their layout can be easily reconfigured to suit different uses, activities and changing needs. The terrace can evolve alongside the office without the need for permanent installations or complex alterations.

As a result, the outdoor space becomes a more vibrant, versatile and welcoming environment, designed for working, meeting and taking a few moments to unwind while reconnecting with nature.
