Creating places
for job fulfillment
The future of the office never looked so bright. The one-size-fits-all era is finally over and
thoughtful, intentional design is here to stay with employee wellbeing and collaboration
leading the way. The office will become a place where like-minded people get together on their
own terms, sharing ideas and building energy for the larger goal. It will be the place where
you meet people, experience belonging to the company, and feel the social and collaborative
aspect of your job.
A natural extension to
the office
The fact that nature nurtures is well established.
Closed
office
spaces
with
stifling
air
conditioning often become a burden. While
adding plants, big windows, and green walls
is beneficial, it’s no substitute for the real
soothing effects of nature.
Why not go the extra mile and instead of bringing
greenery into the office, give people access to
real nature? Blur the lines between inside and
outside with office terraces, decks enclosed by
nature, accessible rooftops, and gardens.
“Work” is cited as the biggest barrier to spending
time outside, but what if we combined nature
and work? And created an outdoor workspace
that’s not just meant for dining or short coffee
breaks, but also for creation, collaboration,
and real heads down working?
An office on demand
The first step is breaking down barriers about
what outdoor spaces can be. Not every person
nor every task requires the same setup. By
offering a palette of different workspaces, you
create surroundings that align with each task
and mindset.
These spaces will inspire rather than just serve
as furniture in the office, and with the right tools,
opportunities are endless.
“The office of the
future expands outside
the four walls of the
building - right into
nature.”
