One of the workspace design trends we’ve noticed over the past year is that home elements are becoming essential parts of the workplace.
Flexible workspace operators, as well as companies, have started to introduce kitchens, showers, gardens, breakout rooms, and lounge areas to their spaces. Considering that work is now 24/7 for many (remote workers, freelancers, mobile workers who are always connected in some way or another), it’s no surprise that workspaces are becoming a home away from home of sorts for many.
Workspaces are no longer designed with 9 to 5 workers in mind, modern offices take into account flexible workers, and future offices will too–considering the number of freelancers and companies adopting remote strategies work will predicted to keep increasing.
To learn more about this trend, OT spoke with Peldon Rose and Kontor, two design companies that specialize in workspace design.
