Relaxation areas
As Luciano said, no context was given. So we believe that "área de descompressão" is the space where professionals can release tension after/during a stressful working day.

| Yes thks Alessandro, think I was looking up the wrong street for a medical term, when all they mean is a rest or relaxation area. |

: Depende do contexto. Pode ser zona de relaxamento ou zona de descontração, mas também pode ser zona de descompressão. Depende do contexto.

Concordo contigo. Principalmente se fosse um termo médico (p. ex. em procedimentos cirúrgicos), em que "decompression area" seria a melhor versão. Obrigado pela reflexão!

It sure looks like the literal translation is not incorrect at all:

Eu até ia postar "zona" também, mas dada a dúvida em relação ao termo, nem postei. Parece ser uma tradução literal, pouco encontrada, e a sugestão do Alessandro é mais adequada. Obrigado, Sergio!

Which does not mean it's incorrect. Please note I posted this with level 3, and I clearly mentioned "It sure LOOKS LIKE". Thank you, Liz.

: Stores or restaurants have different zones, from the famous “decompression zone” in stores, to fitting rooms or the store checkout area
