Sammanfattning
This thesis investigates research in neuro-design and how to optimise office properties
by human well-being in focus. Human sustainability can also lead to added value such
as efficiency, focus, recovery, performance, creativity, and prevention for illness,
leading to less sick leave and financial savings for an organization. The aim is to find
some common factors contributing to people feeling well-being in the physical
environment. The thesis also aims to be an external trend analysis and inspirational
for future property developers and project managers to take social sustainability into
consideration and be responsible when planning the project scope. The thesis is a
collaboration with NCC Property Development. The focus is the project of the office
building MIMO in Mölndal. MIMO is a project that will offer a ‘Feelgood-Office’,
where it will be easy to solve the puzzle of life and easy to make the choices that
make people feel good. The thesis theories on neuro-design appeal to both the office
in general and the specific assignment from NCC; is to do a case study of the existing
architectural draft for the terraces with neuro-design as a literary base, which fits into
‘FeelGood-Office’. The method for the thesis is to create a background and base
through interviews to deepen the knowledge in literary sources, which will then be
discussed and culminate in a researched-based case review and recommendations for
the terraces. The result and recommendations can also be applicable guidelines for
offices in general.
