In 1999, the movie Office Space satirizes the ubiquitous gray office cubicle. Fast forward more than a decade and a half later and technology companies are rather elegant open halls with rows of workstations and Aeron chairs are similar or permanent office.
But a combination of rapidly changing technologies, reaction against plans open floor plan, and other factors. The Office of the Future Wait at least a decade from now, experts estimate offices are some changes in both the way they look and to experience the way to work. The good news is that more companies and designers are aware of the experience of the workers.
1. The Office of incentive
How agile, flexible working becomes the norm, the work will become a luxury or reward, Ken Raisbeck, Director EMEA at CBRE in London says inmates Advisory Ltd, a leading commercial real estate services company. "The reason why people go to the office changed a bit. There is more cooperation," he said. Offices will do more to provide comfort for the workers so that they can concentrate on their work. He also believes that jobs offer more personalized service and spa options.
Randy held a headquarters in San Francisco architecture firm Gensler, he says, companies can begin to mimic the welcome reception areas to accommodate the different forms of living and working accommodation in a fixed space.
2. MOBILE SPACES
Cheryl Durst, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the International Interior Design Association in Chicago, believes the concept of "landing" or workspaces is more fluid and focused on the nature of the work, the person should in lieu of an assigned seat, for become standard for those whose work depends to work with others.
Raisbek speculated that the base data services can guide the employees through their day, they inform to travel in real time in the best way. Instead of fixed offices, workspaces are based on this kind of work the individual to do that day. A "concierge" Digital cameras can workers who are gathered with the appropriate technology for groups of workstations people who need to work together, configured to make that day or to put together.
3. customized jobs
Even those with static workstations will see a greater focus on the individual needs and productivity of a more "humane" approach, says Durst. Removable walls with sound-absorbing materials allow workers to the privacy that they want, and create "centers", cooperation, promote without cavernous feeling of a totally open office. Raisbek called "hygiene factors", such as lighting, temperature, ergonomics, etc. They are increasingly sophisticated and accommodate an employee to the database. Offices of the future there will be more individual homes more comfortable for employees and improve their experience, he said.
The owner said the office furniture is more personalized needs of workers. As we gain more information about the various technologies, the concept of having "everyone in the exact same office for miles and miles" means a lack of understanding of the individual work style. Instead, the office furniture could make modular approach, so that employees fit with a budget of choosing from a collection of pieces that sit adapt to the functionality or standing desk, allowing office space, and other items that can be your kind and body work and individual work styles. Even if this is not 2025, 3D printing could someday create for each employee develops individual chairs, ergonomic body.
4. Technology SMART
Of course, this mobility and cooperation would not be possible without the technology to be. Since mobile and portable devices continue to evolve, they are to make the way we work. Instead stuck in an office, employees bring their equipment with them and have easy access to several digital screens, to share information about the devices to help them that. Loni Stark, senior director of strategy and product marketing at Adobe Durst said that the communication and text messages and e-mails for writing to a SmartWatch as more interpersonal interaction are not.
Intelligent conference facilities to facilitate meetings and provides easy access for equipment up to the monitors and methods for seamless remote employees to connect to join the meeting via video or audio, according to the owner. The sensors can be indicators of attending meetings to monitor to ensure that the team members each have the opportunity to express their views. Mikko-Pekka Hanski, co-founder of Global Design Company Idean, I think we will see "much more immersive process" remote collaboration through virtual reality.
As a rule, there is a movement to improve the overall experience of the work area, said the owner. "There is no reason why your workspace should look like a workspace feel," he said.
