It is no longer desirable, or even impossible, for a company to pay for real estate that serves only one function.
Trends in workplace design, especially among startups and other innovation-driven small businesses, are shifting towards creating and using multifunctional spaces in the office.
A sharing economy, a culture of collaboration, and a collective pursuit of productivity all contribute to a new way of thinking about efficiency. Transformable spaces also foster an activity-based work movement that encourages employees to move around the office, changing the space to match the work they are currently doing.
Now your conference room can act as a place to dine or relax after work. Modular classrooms can be combined to create a large brainstorming area. Dedicated coworking spaces can improve the efficiency of employees who work remotely or part-time. And a group of wheeled tables in your conference room allows you to reconfigure to best perform the task at hand - from simple brainstorming to team building exercises.
These are some of the simplest examples in workspace design. With a company that specializes in changing, improving and changing jobs, you can create new multipurpose spaces quickly, easily and at relatively low cost.
