Sensory

Floor: Carpeted in varying shades of gray in the lounge area with chairs, coffee tables, and a TV; light gray rectangular tiles cover the rest of the space.

Walls: A mix of materials — dark wood panels and bright yellow polished tiles at the entrance, cream-colored walls elsewhere with gray bulletin boards and white ceramic whiteboards. One side features a panoramic window framed with evenly spaced black steel supports.

Lighting: Daytime illumination is provided by ample windows, with blinds on standard windows but none on the panoramic wall. At night, overhead fixtures cast a neutral to soft yellow light.

Sound: The room absorbs sound well, with no noticeable echo even at high volume.

Smell: No distinct odor, though the open kitchen allows any cooking aromas to spread throughout the floor.
