IDEO x UNSW FUTURE OFFICE SPACE PROPOSAL WRITTEN SUBMISSION PREPARED BY MLOS
PROFILE -
MLOS IS AN INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE PRACTICE THAT MAKE PEOPLE’S LIVES BETTER.
WE WORK WITH AUSTRALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS TO RESOLVE THEIR PREVIOUS INTERIORS TO PROVIDE MORE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE. WE DO THIS BY CULTIVATING UNIQUE DESIGN STRATEGIES THAT RESPONDS TO HUMAN-NEEDS, BRINGS US CLOSER TO NATURE, AND MAKE EVERYDAY LIFE MORE FORGIVING, AND FUN.
WHO IS MLOS?
APPROACH -
OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE PEOPLE’S LIVES BETTER THROUGH A INTUITIVE DIALOGUE BETWEEN US, NATURE AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT. WE BELIEVE WHEN SPACES ARE ADAPTED, THE OPPORTUNITY ARISES FOR PERSONALIZED DESIGN THINKING THAT CAN BE THE CATALYST FOR NEW DIRECTION AND FUN. TO GET THERE WE CONSIDER THE TENSIONS BETWEEN MACRO AND MICRO, THE FORM AND THE FUNCTION, PROCESS AND THE PRODUCT. FROM EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT, TO DESIGN RESOLUTION AND DELIVERY, OUR JOURNEY PRODUCES UNIQUE SOLUTIONS THAT REMEMBERS TO FORGIVE AND TO MOVE US FORWARD.
INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE -
TO CREATE INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE WE MUST DESIGN THROUGHOUT TO THE FACADE AND TO CONSIDER BEYOND THE PORTALS FROM INTERIOR TO EXTERIOR. WE REMOVE, WE RESTRUCTURE, AND REDEVELOP INTERIOR ARCHITECTURAL SPACES TO BEST CONTAIN OUR CLIENTS. FROM CLEVER DESIGN DETAILING, TO CUSTOM FURNITURE AND INTERIOR LANDSCAPING OUR INTERIORS ARE SEEMINGLY SELF-EVIDENT AND INTUITIVE TO FOR TO BE PART OF A COMPANY AND TO BE YOU
HUMAN CENTERED -
TO FOSTER A COMFORTABLE WORK ENVIRONMENT, WE AIM TO FOCUS ON MAINTAINING A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR USERS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT. THE INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT IS DESIGNED TO STIMULATE THE USER’S MIND, WHILE ALSO CATERING ELEMENTS FOR DE-STRESSING. ELEMENTS SUCH AS THE FLEXIBILITY OF FORM IN SPACE, AND THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF NATURAL SUNLIGHT ARE HEAVILY CONSIDERED TO CREATE AN INVITING AND INVIGORATING WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT. FLEXIBILITY OF SPACE ALLOWS THE USER TO FREELY MODIFY THEIR WORK ZONES TO MATCH THEIR OWN WORK STYLE.
PLAYFULLY IMPLEMENTED -
AT MLOS WE DESIGN IN A RATIONAL AND SENSITIVE MANNER, WHICH IS WHY ITS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO PAUSE IN OUR PROCESS AND REMEMBER TO FORGIVE AND EMPLOY FUN FOR OUR PROJECTS. WE AIM TO MAKE USER EXPERIENCES WORK HARD AT A SUB-CONSCIOUS LEVEL, AND BE LIGHTHEARTED AND PLAYFUL AT THE CONSCIOUS LEVEL. BY IMPLEMENTING PLAYFUL DESIGN STRATEGIES WE MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY WHILST STRIVING FOR BETTER.
NATURE INSPIRED -
TO CREATE SPACES THAT UNCONSCIOUSLY INSPIRE AND CARE FOR US, WE RESOLVE WITH A STRONG INFLUENCE FROM NATURE. INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS ARE DESIGNED WITH THEIR NATIVE FLORA AND OPENINGS TO VIEW IT IN MIND, REALIZING A DIRECT CONNECTION WITH NATURE. FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS TOWARDS BIOPHILIC DESIGN KEEP SPACES FROM THE MUNDANE BY MAKING SPACES SENSUALLY FRESH. THIS FOSTERS A BREEZY BUT COMPOSED ATMOSPHERE FOR US, ALLOWING US TO BE INSTINCTUAL AND ANIMATED IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT.
WHY MLOS?

MLOS BODY OF RESEARCH
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE INDUSTRY? -
SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT
LACK OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY
HYGIENE AND SANITATION
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
CONSIDERATION OF MENTAL HEALTH
INTERNAL COMPETITION
WHILE THE WORLD IS RAPIDLY CHANGING TOWARDS A MORE DIGITALIZED INDUSTRY , WE CANNOT COMPLETELY ABANDON OUR HUMAN NEEDS OF FACETO-FACE INTERACTIONS. A LACK OF TECHNOLOGY LEADS TO A LARGER FOCUS ON COLLABORATION ANDHUMAN INTERACTION .
BRINGING TOGETHER PEOPLE OF VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS AND CULTURES CANENRICH THE OVERALL STRATEGIC OUTCOME OF THE DESIGN AS EACH INDIVIDUAL WOULD HAVE EXPERTISE ON DIFFERENT KINDS OF CUSTOMS THAT ARE SPREAD ACROSS THE GLOBE.
LOW MOTIVATION
COLLABORATION IS A MAJOR PART OF OUR INDUSTRY, AND WORKING AS A COMPANY OR GROUP REQUIRES COORDINATION BETWEEN MEMBERS. THE INCLUSIVITY OF HELPING EACH OTHER WILL FURTHER CREATE A HEALTHY AND ENJOYABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE TO DESIGN IN.

TO ADAPT TO OUR CURRENT PANDEMIC, IT IS CRUCIAL TO CONSIDER SUSTAINABLE AND DURABLE MATERIALS THAT ARE CONVENIENT FOR SANITATION AND HYGIENE PRACTICES, AS WELL AS CREATINGFLEXIBLE AND MODULAR WORK PLACES FOR A LASTING WORK ENVIRONMENT.
THE CONSIDERATION OFMENTAL AND PHYSICAL WELLBEING HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN UNDERLYING ISSUE WITHIN OUR INDUSTRY. WE MUST DESIGN SPACES THAT BOTH STIMULATES THE MIND DURING WORK, AS WELL AS SPACES THAT ALLOWS THE MIND TO RELAX AND BREATHE IN.
WHAT IS IDEO? THE SUCCESS OF YOURS TO SEEMS STEM FROM AN INTANGIBLE QUALITY, ONE THAT IS NON DUPLICABLE DUE TO YOUR LASTING INDUSTRY DOMINANCE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IDEO IS A HUMAN-CENTERED COMPANY AND THEREFORE IS ALL ABOUT YOUR PEOPLE. TO ENABLE THEM A CAREFULLY NURTURED CULTURE HAS BEEN GROWN. WE HAVE INTERPRETED AND DISTILLED THIS SUCCESS INTO 3 MAIN CULTURAL DRIVERS; LEARNING, DIVERSITY AND HELPING. CONSTANTLY LEARNING HELPS DRIVE PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH FINDING NEW AVENUES AND REMAINING ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF INNOVATION. THIS REINFORCES YOUR INDUSTRY LEAD AND KEEPS DESIGNS FRESH THROUGH CONSTANT ITERATION. “FAIL OFTEN TO SUCCEED SOONER” DIVERSITY OF EXPERIENCE IS ALSO A KEY STRENGTH. YOU DELIBERATELY EMPLOY A WIDE-RANGE OF EXPERTS TO BRING VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES TO A PROBLEM. THIS HELPS FACILITATE YOUR FAMOUS CROSSPOLLINATION OF IDEAS FROM DIFFERENT FIELDS DUE TO THE WIDE RANGE OF LEARNINGS. THIS IS ENABLED BY THE MOST IMPORTANT VALUE AT IDEO, HELPING. NOT ONLY ARE YOU DEEPLY EMPATHETIC BUT ITS ALSO A KEY PRODUCTIVITY DRIVER DUE TO THE POSITIVE CROSS-DISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING BENEFITS FROM PARTICIPATING IN A WIDE RANGE OF PROJECTS. IT IS ALSO WELL DOCUMENTED THAT HELP IS GIVEN AND RECEIVED FROM ALL STAGES OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL LEVEL AND STATUS AS AN EXPERT. IN REVIEWS ALL EMPLOYEES WERE NAMED AT LEAST ONCE AS A TOP RANKED HELPER. IT IS ALSO CLEAR THAT YOU VALUE TRUST AND ACCESSIBILITY OVER COMPETENCE WHEN HELP IS NEEDED WHICH UNDERLINES THE DEEP SOCIAL CONTEXTS OF YOUR SUCCESS.
YOUR STUDIOS ARE USUALLY MADE OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS AND OPERATES IN A LOOSER MATRIX LIKE STRUCTURE. PERSONAL ARE OFTEN ROTATED BETWEEN PROJECTS, AND EVEN IN THEIR PAY THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO UTILIZE EXTRA ALLOCATED TIME FOR COLLABORATING WITH OTHER PROJECTS. YOUR BRAINSTORMING SESSIONS ARE ALSO WORLD FAMOUS. THEY ARE KNOWN TO BE SO INTENSE THEY SHOULDN’T LAST LONGER THAN AN HOUR AND ARE MEASURED IN IDEAS PER HOUR WHICH THE STANDARD IS 100 SKETCHED ON A PIECE OF PAPER. THIS LIKE MANY IDEO DESIGN PROCESS ARE EXPORTED TO OTHER COMPANIES AS A KEY PIECE OF BUSINESS IDEO CONSIDERS ITS OFFICE SPACE ARCHITECTURE TO BE ONE OF IT’S GREATEST ASSETS. INFORMAL COMMUNICATION AND WORK VISIBILITY ARE KEY IN THE OFFICE SPACE AS THEY FACILITATE THE COLLABORATION CULTURE YOU HAVE BUILT. THIS IS SEEN THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION OF INDIVIDUAL WORK POINTS AROUND A CENTRAL PUBLIC AREA WITH A DISPLAY SURFACE THAT ACTS AS A STAGE FOR THE DESIGN PROBLEMS. THIS ALLOWS PEERS TO ENGAGE WITH THE PROJECT IN FRONT OF THEM AND OFFER INFORMAL HELP. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF YOUR INNOVATIVE CULTURE IS YOUR TECH BOX, AN INGREDIENTS PANTRY OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS OVER THE YEARS THAT ACT AS BUILDING BLOCKS FOR IN-PROGRESS PROJECTS. IT HAS BECOME A COVETED SOCIAL CURRENCY IF YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THE BOX, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ARE NOW MAINTAINED BY A LOCAL CURATOR AT EACH STUDIO AND EACH PIECE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND PUBLISHED WITHIN THE COMPANY

WHAT IS IDEO CoLAB? IDEO’S CoLAB IS THEIR COLLABORATIVE FUTURE LAB AND IS A TYPE OF SKUNKWORKS. NOTHING IS MORE EVOCATIVE OF IDEO’S MODERN POSITIONING AS THEY AIM TO EXPORT THEIR WORLD-FAMOUS DESIGN PRINCIPLES TO THOSE WHO NEED IT IN EMERGING TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT. THEIR MEMBERSHIP USES DESIGN SPRINTS AND OTHER WORKSHOPS TO HELP CLIENTS TO DEVELOP THEIR CONCEPTS. “CoLAB CONNECTS ORGANIZATIONS TO SHAPE TECHNOLOGY’S IMPACT ON THE WORLD. TOGETHER, WE DESIGN THE FUTURE” CoLAB HAS 3 KEY PRINCIPLES EXPLORE, ACCELERATE AND INVEST WHICH COMPOSE THEIR BUSINESS. EXPLORE IS WHERE EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AND TRENDS MEET RAPID PROTOTYPING. “CoLAB MEMBERSHIP FOCUSES ON RESEARCH AND DESIGN ACROSS AN EVOLVING LIST OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, GLOBAL TRENDS, AND BUSINESS CHALLENGES. FROM 4-DAY SPRINTS TO MULTI-WEEK PROJECTS, WE START WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION’S HARD PROBLEMS AND CREATE EXPERIENCE PROTOTYPES THAT LOOK 12+ MONTH AHEAD OF THE MARKET.” ACCELERATE DEFINES CoLAB AS A VENTURE STUDIO THAT BUILDS TO LAUNCH “THROUGH VENTURE DESIGN SPRINTS, RESIDENCIES AND SPECIAL EVENTS, CoLAB HELPS INCUBATE, ACCELERATE AND LAUNCH VENTURES.
INVEST FINALIZES THEIR BUSINESS VISION THROUGH THEIR INVESTMENT AND DESIGN PARTNERSHIP “CoLAB’S DESIGN-DRIVEN INVESTING PROGRAM PARTNERS WITH EARLYSTAGE DISTRIBUTED WEB PROJECTS AND FOUNDERS THROUGH CO-CREATION, CAPITAL, AND COMMUNITY. BY PARTNERING WITH WORLD-CLASS ENTREPRENEURS AND DEVELOPERS, WE HELP PUT USER NEEDS AT THE CENTER OF DISTRIBUTED WEB TECHNOLOGIES.” IDEO CoLAB WORKS ACROSS A RANGE OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES, SOCIETAL TRENDS AND INDUSTRIES.

L VENN DIAGRAM OF THE TYPOLOGY OF WORK MODES BEING UTILIZED IN THE DESIGN
DIGITAL WORK
CONVENTIONAL WORK MODES HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND HAS BROUGHT A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS BEHIND, INTO THE FOREFRONT OF CURRENT INNOVATION. HOWEVER THE OFFICE HAS BECOME DOWNSIZED BECAUSE OF THIS INNOVATION, AND SOME EVEN REJECT GOING BACK TO THE OFFICE TO DO WHAT THEY ALREADY COULD AT HOME
ANALOGUE WORK
HYBRID WORK
DIGITAL WORK
WE PROPOSE THAT THE OFFICE IS A SPACE FOR WORK THAT CAN’T BE DONE IN A HYBRID OR DIGITAL SETTING. THIS TYPE OF WORK IS CHARACTERIZED BY COLLABORATION, AND WE RECOGNIZE THE VALUE IDEO AND UNSW PLACE UPON IT. THE OFFICE FOR EXAMPLE WILL HAVE NO INDIVIDUAL WORKSPACES, BUT WE ADDITIONALLY RECOGNIZE THE VALUE OF INDIVIDUAL REST AND WELLBEING SPACES.

DESIGN STRATEGY -
MLOS
FROM THE RESEARCH ITS CLEAR THAT YOU ARE A UNIQUE INDUSTRY LEADING DESIGN FIRM, BUILT ON THE BACK OF A CAREFULLY NURTURED CULTURE FROM YOUR INCEPTION. YOU ARE ALSO ENTERING A SPACE ON A WORLD CLASS UNIVERSITY CAMPUS RICH WITH TALENT, THAT WILL FOLLOW AND INNOVATE ON THE NOTION OF THE WORKPLACE OF THE FUTURE.
FOCUS AT HOME,
INSPIRED AT WORK!
THE COMMON THREAD IN OUR INVESTIGATION IS COLLABORATION, AND YOU WOULDN’T BE YOU WITHOUT IT. WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT COLLABORATION IS DIFFICULT ONLINE OR IN A HYBRID WORK MODE AND THAT WOULD RESTRAIN THE SUCCESS OF THE BUSINESS. THIS IS MOST CLEAR THROUGH OUR DELIBERATE OMISSION OF INDIVIDUAL WORK SPACES, A ROLE ALREADY FACILITATED THROUGH A HOME WORKSTATION. WE AIM TO DELIVER A WORKPLACE THAT FACILITATES THE WAY YOU APPROACH WORK IN A WAY THAT BRINGS THE BEST OUT IN YOU. WE BELIEVE WE CAN ACHIEVE THIS THROUGH OUR KEY PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN CENTERED, NATURE INSPIRED, NIMBLE PRACTICE AND PLAYFULLY IMPLEMENTED WHICH WILL ACT AS A FOCUS LENS FOR OUR INITIAL DESIGN IDEATION PHASE. SPECIAL ATTENTION WILL BE PAID TO IMPLEMENTING A VARIETY OF SPACES FOR YOUR CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAMS TO DESIGN TOGETHER, AND WILL BE EQUIPPED TO HANDLE DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE DESIGN PHASES. FOR EXAMPLE WE WILL HAVE SPACES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR YOUR FAMOUS BRAINSTORMING SESSIONS TO HAVE A HIGH IDH (IDEAS-PER-HOUR). THERE WILL BE ALSO A IMPLEMENTATION OF INFORMAL COMMUNICATION MOMENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORKPLACE VISIBILITY.
KEY PRINCIPLES BIOPHILIC DESIGN

NATURE INSPIRED -
NATURE INSPIRED MEANS TO DESIGN WITH REFERENCE TO NATURE TO BETTER THE WELLBEING OF ITS USERS. THIS TYPOLOGY OF DESIGNING IS KNOWN AS BIOPHILIC DESIGN
BIOPHILIC DESIGN CAN BE SPLIT INTO 3 MAIN PATTERNS

HUMAN CENTERED -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BEHAVIORAL TOOLKIT WAS DIRECTLY INSPIRED BY NEW RESOURCES FROM HERMAN MILLER’S LIVING OFFICE PLACE-MAKING GUIDE. THEY RECOGNIZE THAT EACH ORGANIZATION AND ITS PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT, YET MANY OFFICE LOOK AND FEEL THE SAME. TO HELP DISRUPT THIS RE-OCCURRING PATTERN AN UPDATED UNDERSTANDING WAS REQUIRED OF HOW PEOPLE WORK. THIS NEW UNDERSTANDING SHOWS THAT “PEOPLE AND THEIR WORK ARE FOUNDED ON ELEMENTS THAT ARE NATURALLY HUMAN”. INFORMED BY THIS UNDERSTANDING IT PROVIDES IDEAS FOR THE ARRANGEMENT OF SURROUNDING, AND FINISHING FOR PEOPLE TO DELIVER THEIR BEST WORK AND SELF. USERS ARE ABLE TO CHOOSE FROM A RANGE OF SPACES THAT BETTER SUPPORT THEIR ACTIVITIES, STRENGTH THEIR CONNECTION WITH COLLEAGUES THROUGH INFORMAL COMMUNICATION AND HELP FULFILL THEIR SPECIFIC PURPOSE.
PLAYFULLY IMPLEMENTED
TO KEEP INFORMAL COMMUNICATION AS A KEY STRENGTH INTO THE FUTURE PLAYFUL IMPLEMENTED HAS MANIFESTED AS DIGITAL SOLUTIONS. HERE A WORKPLACE IDEO APPLICATION IS ACCESSIBLE FROM MANY DEVICES LIKE MONDAY.COM’S PLATFORM. WORK CAN BE TRACKED CONSISTENTLY AND IS VIEWABLE INSTANTLY REMOVING BARRIERS TO WORK PROGRESS AND KEEPS WORK FEELING UNTETHERED TO PLACE OR DEVICE. FURTHER IT ALSO KEEPS THE CULTURE OF HELPING INTO THE FUTURE THROUGH ITS ABILITY TO TRACK WORK PROGRESS WILL INFORM OTHER TEAMS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP. IDEO CoLAB MEMBERSHIP ALSO HAS ACCESS TO THIS PLATFORM AS A FULL USER TO HELP KEEP TRACK OF MULTI-WEEK PROJECTS. THIS IS ONE SIDE OF THE APPLICATION. THE OTHER END OF THE APPLICATION INVOLVES THE PHYSICAL WORKPLACE. THEIR ARE TOOLS TO ENABLE THE MOTORIZED COMPONENTS OF THE WORKSPACES AND TO UNDERSTAND WHERE MEETINGS ARE HELD. THIS ALSO ALLOWS FOR SCHEDULING OF SPACES SO A RETURN TO LOCK DOWN IS ALREADY ADDRESSED THROUGH THE INITIAL DESIGN THESE TOOLS WILL HELP REINFORCE THE ALREADY WELL DEVELOPED COMPANY CULTURE AND TRANSITION IT INTO A MORE HYBRID-WORK MODE.
