FLEXI WORKSPACES
2. Emotional cues drive behaviour
How a room feels matters just as much as how it functions. Does the space invite you in or subtly push you away?
• Is it signalling trust, or surveillance?
• People flourish in environments that feel warm, autonomous, and human, not clinical or controlling.
• Innovation dies in sterile spaces. It thrives in ones that say: you belong here.
3. Movement and Meaningful Interactions
Creative ideas often emerge from unexpected encounters. But those“ accidental” conversations aren’ t truly random- they’ re engineered through space.
• Coffee stations, communal tables, and open lounges act as idea crossroads.
• These“ collision points” are the real whiteboards of modern workplaces.
• At Workshop17, we’ ve seen how simply placing different kinds of people together: freelancers, corporates, creatives, sparks connections no strategy ever could.
