Same building, new design studio.
September has been a busy time for us. Between client work on the grid and some labor in a couple studio spaces, Design5sixty4 has moved into a new studio. Still posted up at Cottonwood in Colorado Springs located on the 2nd floor in Studio 228, and with the help of friends, peers in the building, and the Mister, we have a freshly painted, upgraded space for design work and client meetings!
Immediate impact and mood boost—I’m in love with this space because of the natural light it offers. It’s certainly been the biggest thing missing in my life from the previous studio.
Office workers with more light exposure at the workplace tended to have longer sleep duration, better sleep quality, more physical activity, and better quality of life compared to office workers with less light exposure at the workplace. Office workers’ physical and mental well-being may be improved via enhanced indoor lighting for those with insufficient daylight in current offices as well as increased emphasis on light exposure in the design of future offices.

So, with that, I’m extra grateful. Finishing up my first day in the new space, I’m already feeling the boost of energy in the space, there truly is something to having natural lighting in the way of supporting creativity. And at this current moment, I am looking out to the shifting leaves as we transition into fall. I’m also looking forward to those rainy days and upcoming snow days that tend to be my favorite “creative incubator” type of days.
Now, back to it, friends! We have work to do!
