WATERCOOLER CHAT: Futurescaping Workspace Design
Futurescaping workspace design means designing innovative workspaces that tell your story. Workspace design is becoming increasingly more complex in terms of how offices function and operate in the modern business context. Designers on the front lines of workplace concepts are working to anticipate the ever-evolving needs of businesses while creating a cohesive brand environment that embraces innovation in tandem with a company’s corporate culture and vision.
Innovation is in sharp focus in 2020 for many companies, along with rapidly evolving technologies and demand for wellness-based design. These challenges have led to exciting transformations in the way employees engage, perform, and function within the built environment. Current and prospective employees are no longer settling for one-size-fits-all spaces.
Futurescaping workspace design sets the stage for the exceptional space planning and design that businesses need to compete with the high level of functionality that is now in demand for business development. The goals continue to center upon improved performance and productivity, attracting talented new recruits, enhancing wellness and well-being, and inspiring creativity.
What remains consistent about the trends of 2020 is that they are a reflection of our modern-day business culture. By looking at the trends of tomorrow, we can understand where businesses are now and where they want to be in the future.
Over the past year, in particular, we have seen a rise in the Resimercial Design trend. Commercial design has embraced the hospitality environments found in hotels that cater to business travelers. This fusion of design has the potential to revolutionize the way that office environments are perceived in the long run. For now, things have only just begun.
Our team is keeping up with these changes for a fresh approach to your next project. As we plan for 2020 and beyond, these trends stand to make the most immediate and significant impacts on the future of work-life:
- Dynamic Flexibility
- Wood Design Features
- Creating Community
- Environmental Wellness Design
