Hybrid working has transformed the way we all work. Workplaces are being used more as space for collaboration, learning and innovation rather than individual working. Office designs are adapting to this trend and many organisations are embracing new ideas and creating spaces that represent brand culture and values. Here are just some of the new concepts our clients are making …
Bringing the outdoors in
To promote staff wellness and productivity biophilic designs are becoming highly popular. Biophilia means a love of nature and Biophilic design is about connecting people and nature within our built environments. This approach has been found to support cognitive function, physical health and psychological well-being. Think green living walls, natural fabrics, natural lighting, and landscape features.
Sustainable spaces
People are thinking more about the planet when choosing office equipment and soft furnishings. Popular products include chairs made from recycled felt and plastic, wood procured from manufacturers which are members of the Forest Stewardship Council( FSC) and fabrics made from recycled items found on the ocean floor.
Embracing technology
Traditional meeting rooms are being transformed into‘ Zoom Rooms’ to accommodate the rise in virtual meetings. New meeting room requirements include acoustic panels to improve sound quality whilst on a call and support technology, such as inbuilt phone chargers, USB ports and HDMI sockets.
Variety of work settings
Agile workspaces are trending with modular, moving parts becoming popular, giving freedom and flexibility of space. Designing a workspace that empowers staff and which provides settings to suit all work styles and work types is essential. Include spaces to facilitate concentration, teamwork, reflection and also mindfulness and well-being. Think about more social spaces, work cafés, games rooms, rejuvenation zones or meditation areas.
