Say hello to the concept of "third spaces" – a versatile and adaptable approach to office design. What are "Third Spaces"? Recent studies show that offices are changing after the pandemic, with more space allotted to "third spaces" that provide a balance between focused work and collaboration. Third spaces are flexible and adaptable areas within the workplace that are neither a traditional work desk nor a formal conference room. It's a concept inspired by the idea of creating a setting that bridges the gap between different work modes and environments, think, home office. Companies like CORT can help, offering innovative furniture solutions to create dynamic workspaces that encourage collaboration and foster a relaxed yet professional atmosphere. These spaces align with the growing demand for workplace flexibility and inspire creativity and innovation.

From cubicles to open spaces, each design has its own unique impact on productivity. It's fascinating to see how even the smallest changes can have a profound impact on how we work. A well-designed office can foster collaboration, creativity, and efficiency. On the flip side, a poorly designed space can lead to distractions and decreased productivity. So, the next time you step into your office, take a moment to observe your surroundings. You might just find that your environment plays a larger role in your productivity than you think.

Very interesting article. I think its a great move for business to incorporate privacy pods & booths into their office design. I've used them on many occasions and seen my productivity increase by 25%! With today's extremely demanding workforce, it is only time that will encourage businesses to incorporate more of these into their designs to ensure that staff can focus and don't constantly wear headphones (causing them to disconnect) which results in less collaboration.

I always love hearing feedback from businesses we work with on how the office refurbishment has impacted their company culture. It's the little suprises they didn't expect that bring me the most happiness. For example, a company will refurbish their office to refresh an outdated space - but will find that in doing so their team is suddenly much better aligned and collaborative. Or they'll be looking to optimise the space for a hybrid working structure and find their employee morale and productivity skyrocket. We put together a list of the five benefits most often referenced by companies after a fit-out: https://lnkd.in/eH-Agxw2 #OfficeDesign #CompanyCulture #OfficeRefurbishment #OfficeFitOut
