Preference for smaller, agile groups within a larger space calls for “neighbourhood planning.” Flexible team pods with movable elements allow teams to expand, shrink, or reconfigure organically—without structural overhauls. Think: boutique offices within a unified grid.

Desire for a boutique feel for its teams can be achieved by layering soft finishes, warm lighting, relaxed lounge zones, and concierge-style touches across key nodes like the reception, client areas, and team hubs.

As video calls and hybrid meetings become the norm, visual and acoustic control is critical in open layouts.

Acoustic privacy is a key concern. The office will incorporate high-performance phone booths, 2-4 person VC rooms, and acoustically zoned team areas with ceiling baffles, wall panels, and fabric-wrapped partitions to support focused work and confidential discussions.

Tech-forward identity demands seamless integration of plug-and-play AV systems, smart meeting rooms, wireless charging, and occupancy-based lighting and climate systems, especially in collaborative and enclosed spaces.

Zones that support unplanned conversations. Intersections like cafés, corridor widenings, or landings will serve as intentional “collision zones” to spark impromptu collaboration. These are critical in building internal culture.

The new workplace will feature a range of environments: quiet nooks for deep focus, informal lounges for group energy, and greenery-rich corners for reset. This balance promotes both productivity and wellness, ensuring the workplace supports every work style. The design will include indoor plants, ample natural daylight & environments with sensory calm.
