Workplace 4.0: The office spaces of the future. Already today.
We give companies space for encounters and inspiration.
While the classic office saw the light of day in the 17th century, the 20th century saw the advent of open-plan offices and, in the 1960s, open-plan offices, which, by the way, were a German invention. Even then, the goal was to bring people together to promote efficiency, productivity and interaction. What was then still an attempt, a vision, has become a living revolution and evolution of work through digitalization and the technical possibilities of the here and now.
revolution and evolution of work.
As the world evolves, so should the workplace.
The pandemic as an accelerator of the future has shown companies that remote working, virtual meetings, digital collaboration and a fluid change between home office and office can not only be possible, but also very successful. After all, traditional thinking and adherence to rigid forms and processes reflect neither the spirit of the times nor the unimagined possibilities of digitization. Working in a quiet cubbyhole inhibits the progress of a company just as much as imposed hierarchies, with which the potential of one's employees cannot be nearly exploited.
Because it is only through encounters and cooperation that many small ideas become one big one and visions grow wings.
The modern office is a we-place.
When the individual office becomes a home base and the conference room a coworking area.
There is no question that digital collaboration and switching between the office and home office will remain an integral part of the working world even after the pandemic. Many companies are therefore asking themselves what significance a company headquarters still has now. The answer is simple: a big one, but also a completely different one.
The future is not on the desk, but in the encounter.
The technical possibilities alone are not enough to successfully shape the work of the future. Ultimately, they merely serve as working tools and enablers. Visions, milestones and real progress only ever emerge from the power of the mind and by people acting together and inspiring each other. And this requires innovative interior design and smart furnishing solutions that turn office space into a flexible hot spot for interaction, innovation and inspiration: open spaces for agile teams, retreats for concentrated work in peace, open places for exchange and retreats. Or in other words: a place to work and live.
Encounters are what drive people and make them grow.
To turn small ideas into big visions, we need to work together.
In our digitalized world, personal encounters, exchanges and interpersonal components are becoming increasingly important. After all, it is personal contact that creates understanding, trust and a feel for one's counterpart. The desire for personal exchange and encounter is and will remain essential and is anchored in our very being. Therefore, remote work and flexible working will only be productive and successful if physical workspaces and the office continue to be used as a place for social and communicative gatherings.
When the workplace gets a soul, a company gets an identity.
Values, identity and the very own spirit of a company must be made tangible both haptically and visually in order to be credible and to help employees identify with their employer and feel valued. In times of a constant shortage of skilled workers, this is an important factor in retaining employees and attracting new talent. An authentic corporate architecture is therefore much more than a chic, stylish workplace, but reflects the soul of a company.
It is a link and a home and should therefore be experienced haptically and visually: A place where people can move great things together and develop.
