via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

This online course delves into the art of creating harmonious and purpose-driven workspaces. The perfect home office seamlessly integrates functionality and creativity. It not only serves your work requirements but also fosters an atmosphere that inspires you to deliver excellent output. 

You will discover how to leverage the elements of nature to optimize your health, shorten your recovery times, and maximize your productivity. Learn how certain scents can enhance focus, reduce error rates, and understand why our minds resonate with symmetry. Additionally, we will explore the therapeutic benefits of creating your own furniture pieces and their positive impacts on both the environment and your mental health.

This comprehensive course is divided into three key chapters:

  1. "Foundations" – This section lays the groundwork for understanding how your personal needs and work type impact the design of your home office. Here, you'll make both a quantitative and qualitative assessment of what you need. We'll look at your habits, quirks and work style to create a comprehensive understanding of the type of workspace that you need. 
  2. "Elements" – This section offers insights into the constituents of an effective home office. Here we will look at the table, the storage, the chair and the lighting that you need. We'll adjust all of them based on the profile we established in part one. Are you a painter? More table space for you. Are you a writer? More storage space for you. 
  3. "Integration" – Finally, we will uncover the principles behind harmonising the components. We'll look at what you might need to see, touch and smell to achieve a top mental state and realise great work. We'll also look at various examples of good office designs showing how you can create an environment that not only caters to your work needs but also promotes holistic well-being.

Who is this class for?
