SOCIAL SPACES ARE THE HEART OF OFFICE CULTURE From semi-private to dedicated areas supporting a variety of choice, character, and amenitization; these space types should match what people need.

CHOOSING THE WAY YOU WORK From phone rooms and touch-down spaces to private offices and assigned workstations; providing a variety of choices that respond to how you work is one approach to the new way to office.

OFFICE IS A VEHICLE FOR COLLABORATION AND PRODUCTIVITY Our office environment needs to adapt and respond to varied work modes. A workplace that can accommodate a mix of heads down focus work, virtual meetings and face-to-face collaboration optimizes employee effectiveness and productivity.

FOCUS ON BALANCING WORK AND LIFE Creating balance between professional life and home life demands can be a challenge when the lines between work and home are blurred. With an increased focus on mental, physical and emotional health we believe providing active spaces allow employees to relieve stress and support wellness initiative while at the workplace.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR The human connection to nature is strong. Access to daylight, fresh air, views of the outdoors are beneficial in relieving stress and create opportune environments for social connection, relaxation and celebration.

CONNECTING WITH THE NATURAL WORLD Connecting with nature can be uplifting and rejuvenating. Bringing natural elements to the interior allow us to connect with our environment. Greenery, wood, stone, patterns inspired by nature, sounds of water bring an element of calm to a space.

BUILDING BRAND IMPRESSIONS The workplace is a tool to express an organization’s brand and culture through the built environment. Brand expression can be implemented using literal cues such as logos, fonts and colors or by celebrating the people and culture that an organization serves and enhances the overall user experience.

A DESTINATION WORKPLACE As our professional and personal lives continue to collide, we search for what drives us to return to the office. The destination workplace now offers much more than simply a place to do business. We are looking for experiences; places to collaborate, places to be social, access to retail, restaurants, green space, transportation and entertainment.
