Half outdoor space

An interesting design concept: "Half-outdoor space." The idea is to bring the outside indoors.
As I get back into my Vancouver mindset (I'll be heading home this Friday,) I've been thinking about a key concept for our design. I love the idea of healthy minds and bodies through design. Working with professionals like kineseologists and yoga instructors may prove to be one way to completely rethink design for the future. Psychologists may be another group to consult.
