quiet spaces
Places for contemplation
Quiet spaces are areas designated for minimal noise and disturbance—places where people can work, study, reflect, or simply escape the clamor of busier environments.
Libraries maintain quiet spaces for concentration.
Airports and offices increasingly offer them for travelers and workers needing calm.
The term also applies to mental retreats: I need to find a quiet space in my head.
