MILO DESIGN STUDIO - SHENZHEN, CHINA - PROJECT SCENARIO A
MILO is a small, multi-disciplinary design studio with 30 employees located in Shenzhen, China. Their
primary business is interior commercial fit-outs and they also offer sustainability consulting. Three of their employees have achieved their WELL AP credential.
They have recently leased one floor 21,528 ft.a (2 000 m2) in a building owned by another organization to use as their new studio office. This space includes floor to ceiling windows on all four exterior walls. While the windows are numerous, they are also highly tinted, with a visible light transmittance of approximately 0.35 (35%). They intend on installing several living plant walls and have included natural fibers and patterns in their finishings throughout.
Their building is located 984.25 ft. (300 m) from an underground train station and across the road (approx. 328.08 ft. (100 m)) from a large public park. While many employees have indicated that they bike to work on bike trails, the new building's landlord will not allow tenants to use the elevators to bring bicycles to their offices. Instead, their building has bike racks at the building entrance, an underground garage for bike storage, small rentable lockers and basic bike maintenance tools.
MILO considers itself a human-centric design firm and leads with a people-first approach through its
employee benefits and organizational policies. As an example, they offer a 50% discount on several
mindfulness apps and make guided meditation courses available twice per year to all employees on-site.
PROJECT SCOPE & GOALS
MILO has enrolled their office for WELL Certification to demonstrate their commitment to designing for well-being and employee health. They will be renovating and designing the entire fit-out themselves, including new space configurations that will prioritize natural light.
The space layout will include seating for 45 people in an open-plan office with hot-desking, three conference rooms and four individual phone booths. Additionally, they are planning to update lighting fixtures and purchase new office furniture. MILO do not provide any food or beverages on a daily basis except coffee and tea.
MILO is targeting WELL Certification at the Gold level or higher. This effort is being led by one of their inhouse WELL APs.
