Did you know that simply being around plants (or even seeing images of greenery) reduces anger, fear, stress and even blood pressure? It’s true. In fact, studies have shown that the presence of plants helps to reduce stress, increase productivity, boost creativity and even clean the air.
So, even though cooler weather is ahead of us, we’ve rounded up 6 New York spaces with amazing greenery to keep you happy, healthy and apt to do your best work.
Bond Collective - Greenpoint
Spanning a floor-through of the Leviton factory building, Bond Collective's Greenpoint location is spacious, sun-filled and conveniently situated one block from the G train and NYC Ferry.
We love how the decor draws inspiration from the building's industrial past: factory windows and concrete floors paired with plush furniture. Even their bathroom is fully decked out, what with teal tiling and industrial design features.
Primary
The work-life philosophy at Primary is 'you work best when you feel great'. That's why they intentionally created a space that nourishes their members with a calming zen (and abundantly green) aesthetic.
There are onsite fitness/meditation/yoga classes (online during COVID), and healthy food/beverage options in their cafes. Primary CEO and Co-Founder, Lisa Skye Hain, knows that when you make your 'primary' focus your mind, body and wellbeing, everything in your life (including your business), can thrive.
Labyrinthe
Labyrinthe is a vibrant, inspiring coworking space in Brooklyn. This space offers bright, welcoming decor and a friendly work atmosphere. Located close to the G, L, J, M, and Z Trains, this space is centrally positioned nearby many local businesses and restaurants.
From artisanal coffee that is freshly rounded and brewed every morning and unlimited snacks, to their new private, soundproof call booth, Labyrinthe ticks all the boxes.
Class & Co
At Class & Co, you'll find creatives and freelancers from all different fields. The modular space is designed with collaboration and productivity in mind.
Amenities include unlimited coffee and assorted tea. Snacks are available for purchase in the kitchen, and there's a phone booth for private calls. Common area and hot desks available for Deskpass members.
