High Ceilings = High Achieving

Posted Jan 07 2009 6:52pm




Recent research has shown that ceiling height affects problem-solving skills.







High ceilings activate the idea of freedom, enabling a flow of problem solving to unfold. In a low -ceiling room, feelings of constraint and confinement dull problem solving. The research study will be published in the August 2007 edition ofThe Journal of Consumer Research

Aesthetic research is not a new field of study. It's been around for a long time. Years ago, I read different scientific journal articles when constructing my office. High vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light were my vision. I believed then as I do now, that it's not only my clinical skills which help patients, but the environment wherein it all takes place.

If you live in a place with low ceilings (or other limiting spaces) there are many things you can do. Tryherefor some suggestions.

Now how can we heighten the ceilings in The White House?
