As plenty of us embrace remote work, the lines between profssional and personal spaces tend to blur. So, this week on Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella chats with interior architect Iva Durakovic for advice on creating a work environment at home that can sustain both our well-being and the planet.
With over 10 years of experience working on high-profile, award-winning workplace design projects, Iva is a lecturer and interior designer with research focusing on behavioral impacts and phenomenology of high-performance workplaces, evaluating the environments and their cultures, particularly within emergent post-2020 workplace contexts.
In this episode, Iva Durakovic starts out by defining the home environment as constituting people, place, and planet. She then lists key factors that should be taken into account when designing the work environment, highlighting that ventilation and airflow are among some of the most important.
Together, Marie and Iva Durakovic discuss the biggest limitations in creating a sustainable work environment at home, and ways to overcome them. So, tune in today for a spark of inspiration on how to modify your home desk for optimum productivity and longevity!
