1. By what parameters do you define your well-being (balance of physical, emotional, and spiritual energy; feeling healthy and happy)?

2. What criteria in a space are important for your well-being?

(you can select multiple options)

Lighting: natural light or good artificial lighting is important to me
Bright lights irritate me; I prefer dim lighting, as bright lights give me headaches
I don’t tolerate certain surfaces well (they irritate me on tactile contact)
Air and free arrangement: I like it when there are few pieces of furniture in the space
Ergonomics of individual areas and the entire room (e.g., the correct height of the chair in the work area, the location of the table, etc.)
Fragrances in the space
Colour palette and shades in the interior
Sound: sound insulation is important to me, so that I can work and relax comfortably
