According to a report by the National Bureau of Economic Research, from small businesses to large companies, approximately 70% of companies will adopt a hybrid model, where employees work part of the time in the company and part of the work at home.
This change will bring new design challenges and major changes to the workspace. These changes require creative thinking.
From these changes and challenges, 8 trends in office design have emerged. Let’s take a look:
People have become accustomed to working at home, so the design of the future will give priority to the comfort of the working environment.
Some items that can create comfort can be placed, such as plush carpets, soft seats, and corresponding convenience facilities (such as dry cleaning shuttle services). These items will become necessities of the office.
In the past, open-plan workspaces were not distributed by region. They were more like working in a coffee shop environment. In such an environment, employees’ attention was more easily distracted, let alone creating higher productivity.
People are now more and more concerned about whether the materials used are safe and environmentally friendly, so some businesses have come up with a way to describe each raw material in text in the material label so that employees can see at a glance and have a better understanding of the raw material and source of the product.
The carpet is not only good-looking, it also plays an important role in creating a quiet working environment.
Mohawk Group's carpet attachment has been tested and has become a high-quality product for noise reduction, even on hard floors.
Human beings are innately close to nature. This kind of closeness cannot be given by cold computer monitors, work desks and incandescent lamps.
Since the natural world will be showing a complex model that showed a reduced role in scientific research.
So Mohawk Group cooperated with Richard Taylor, professor of physics at the University of Oregon, and Austrian company 13&9 to use this model to produce a pressure-reducing floor system.
If installed in an office place, it will help alleviate the stress and emotions of employees and play a multi-purpose effect.
The office needs to create these spaces so that employees can freely and flexibly choose where to work based on their work content.
The design of these future office spaces has a very key advantage: making employees more dedicated and productive. Because the environment has a great impact on people, and these designs will create a comfortable environment where people can work more comfortably, thereby improving work efficiency.
