Do you recall reading our post on open floor plans a few weeks ago and how they are becoming increasingly popular amongst businesses? We recently came across an article from The New York Times that not only confirmed the trend, but detailed how creative companies are becoming when it comes to providing “a variety of spaces to accommodate different kinds of work.”
The main concepts of open work spaces that take into account the many different ways that people work include:
- Buzz — conversational noise and commotion — is good. P
- Private offices and expressions of hierarchy are of debatable value.
- Less space per worker may be inevitable for cost-effectiveness, but it can enhance the working environment, not degrade it.
- Daylight, lots of it, is indispensable.
- Chance encounters yield creative energy and mobility is essential.
