IA Interior Architects designs the new Harella House concept that is located in London, channeling the same idea of an office-as-home. This results in a modern workspace that is made to nourish face-to-face interactions and create a balance that is great for one's well-being as well.
The house is designed to encourage productivity but also a sense of comfort that is found in one's home. The Harella house is found on the fourth floor of a building first built in the 1930s with a BREEAM Excellent rating due to its reduced carbon emissions. The design is an open office and has features such as a terrace, a meeting room that evokes a homey feel, a wooden roof, and a mezzanine.
