Solo Spaces

Solo spaces give the individual user control over how they work. To determine which applications and attributes are most appropriate, a variety of considerations should be reviewed including the range of activities and nature of tasks, the level of visual and acoustical privacy, and power accessibility.

Private Office

Private offices may be assigned, shared by more than one person, or free-address. The layout may also be designed to double as a small meeting room that accommodates 2-3 workers.

Team Spaces

Team spaces have become increasingly important to get right, given that work has become much more interdependent and collaborative. It’s critical to uncover a team’s most important group work activities—from intense to causal, tech-rich to conversation-heavy, ad-hoc to planned, and brief to project-long—to appropriately plan and provision the right mix of settings.

Community Spaces

Community spaces are intended for use by the entire workforce (and their guests). Spaces that are hubs of activities need to accomplish many things, making adaptation important. Settings range from Cafés to Libraries to open social spaces like Lobbies and Reception. Community spaces support meetings and learning, employee wellness, and socialization.

Café

It’s not just about the food. Cafés are serving as destination areas that double as all-day meeting spaces.
