The foundations of wellness

The Cundall headquarters at One Carter Lane features a variety of elements designed to improve employee wellbeing, from recreational activities such as yoga to brass surfaces with antimicrobial properties in the kitchen and café areas.

A series of ‘active green walls’ combine with a fan system to filter and clean the air, while sound-blocking trellis panels and acoustic baffles reflect the company’s research into acoustics and biophilia.

According to Alan Fogarty, sustainability partner at Cundall, buildings that meet the requirements for WELL certification minimise the use of design aspects that ‘create stress on its systems such as the cardiovascular system or mental wellbeing’.
