CONTEMPLATIon ZONe ministery of finance

Contemplation Zone

Studio Kontou created a Contemplation Zone at the Ministry of Finance to offer a moment of peace and reflection. The contemplation zone is inspired by the restorative and stress-reducing qualities of nature. To ensure that the employees of the Ministry of Finance can marvel every day with elements from nature.
In this soothing space employees can listen to a custom-made music composition and see how clouds drift very slowly along mountain tops. But they can also dream away at the glistening Luminous Silver panel and explore which scent has the best effect on them.

By regularly shifting your attention from a screen to elements that stimulate the senses on a working day, your brain resets and then relaxes with new ideas and inspiration to get back to work.
