The corporate sector has been responding to rapid changes and evolving to meet the shifting needs of their teams and their overall organisational approach. With the widespread adoption of a hybrid structure to the work week, workplaces need to cater for flexing occupancy volumes and consider increasing capacity to accommodate video calls for small and large groups.
While we couldn’t have imagined a world where the commute competes with home comforts, corporate workplaces are embracing creating inviting spaces for their employees to work in. Relaxed and welcoming spaces are becoming a ‘home away from home’ where staff can enjoy face to face time and collaboration with colleagues and find focus zones to complete tasks that require deeper concentration.
Designing a floorplate that provides a mix of spaces, informal meeting and collaboration areas, meeting spaces and quiet work zones will encourage social connections between employees and teams and inspire creative and innovative thinking.
Thoughtful and intelligent workspace design is essential to create inspiring spaces that employees are drawn to. Ensuring your workspace is a place your teams want to work in is something that many corporate organisations are navigating. With employees weighing up the cost of the journey to work and considering their environmental footprint, workspaces need to actively encourage presenteeism and earn the commute.
Our experience and partnership approach to workplace design means we work with you to get your teams engaged and consulted in the workspace planning process, to make sure the end result is fit for purpose.
Workspaces need to meet the health and wellbeing needs of your team. Proactively introducing elements into the workspace that promote your company’s commitment to wellness can be hugely beneficial for team morale and reducing time out of the office.
From a design perspective we consider factors that reflect your company’s commitment to employee wellbeing such as dedicated spaces for breast-feeding mothers, wellness rooms and restorative zones, social spaces for coffee or lunchtime yoga sessions.
We look at how we can incorporate biophilic elements such as leveraging natural light, investing in indoor plants, the use of natural materials or nature inspired artwork to promote a focus on health and wellbeing to your team.
We’ll work to understand your needs in this area, and your internal goals around health and wellbeing. We’ll then deliver initial planning and design and wrap-around project management for the duration of the project – and after you’ve moved into your new space.
