How can we design better canteen spaces?
Too often, lunch happens at a desk. A sandwich next to a keyboard, five minutes running between meetings. Not because people don't want a break, but because an empty canteen can feel exposing, and a full one can feel like no break at all.
A canteen only works if it gives people a way in, whatever the moment calls for. Smaller groupings and varied seating mean sitting down doesn't have to mean sitting alone in full view. Communal tables invite company without forcing it. Warm materials and greenery soften the room, so five minutes of rest doesn't have to double as five minutes of being seen.
