To meet Feature M01: Enhanced Access to Nature, which aims to connect building occupants with natural elements to support mental and physical health, the design team should include an outdoor space that is at least
5% of the project's interior area. This requirement ensures that occupants have meaningful access to outdoor environments, which can include gardens, terraces, or courtyards, promoting well-being through exposure to natural light, fresh air, and greenery. This strategy is based on biophilic design principles, which recognize the positive impact of nature on human health and productivity, and is a key aspect of the WELL Building Standard's approach to creating health-promoting environments.
