BrowserStack's Strategy: One Office with Six Unique Meeting Spaces. Not all meetings are created equal – so why should all meeting rooms be designed the same? As companies move towards collaborative work structures, meetings are no longer just formal boardroom conversations. Today, a quick chat over a water cooler may be just as productive as one that takes place around a conference table. However, when designing their meeting spaces, many organisations fail to take such casual interactions into account. While planning out the corporate office design strategy for BrowserStack’s Mumbai office, we kept this in mind. Our workplace design strategy came out of the understanding that BrowserStack's dynamic workforce needed a space that would give them the freedom to take on multiple roles and activities, without compromising on transparency and collaboration.

Following this design concept, we decided to offer employees a space for every kind of interaction — no matter how many people are involved or how quick or informal the meeting is. Phone booths.

The Future of Workspaces Trends and Technologies Revolutionizing Office Design. Designing an Accessible and Barrier-Free Office: Empowering Everyone. A workplace that is accessible and barrier-free is essential for ensuring that every employee can work comfortably and effectively. From individuals with physical disabilities to people with sensory disabilities, all employees deserve to have a workspace that is designed to meet their unique needs.

Developing an accessible workplace means employing a workplace design strategy which eliminates physical and social barriers that impede the employees' ability to work independently and efficiently. Let’s take a look at some design concepts and ideas and how the design solutions by Space Matrix for Northern Trust helped in creating a barrier-free office space. Removing Physical Barriers The first step in creating an accessible office space is to ensure that the physical environment is free from barriers. Northern Trust's office in Pune was designed by Space Matrix for universality and to be accessible to everyone. Addressing Social Differences Using Design to Level the Playing Field. Unlock Workplace Wellness with Your Office Cafeteria. Why your office cafeteria holds the key to your workplace wellness strategy If the kitchen is the heart of the home, a pantry space or a cafeteria is surely the equivalent, when it comes to corporate offices.

And yet, when charting out a workplace wellness strategy, many organisations overlook the cafeteria — putting all their focus on gyms, spas and other luxury offerings instead. However, this can be a huge missed opportunity. The cafeteria may not be a unique offering, but it is a simple, powerful tool to foster health, happiness and emotional well-being among employees. Here are a few reasons why the café or pantry is so important when it comes to ensuring wellness, boosting morale and improving workplace engagement. A starting point for health, nutrition and wellness The pandemic has brought home the importance of healthy dietary practices — and people now pay more attention not just to what they eat, but also to how they eat their meals.

The benefits of considering the environmental impacts of workplace design have a sizable effect on both the employee satisfaction and profit margins of an organisation. Sustainability is therefore a crucial component that differentiates an average office space from one that is designed to be truly future-proof.

So, top companies are making sustainability one of their main goals when creating the perfect space for people to work in. What exactly is a sustainable workplace? A sustainable workplace is one that balances its people, its profit and the planet to produce success and viability in the long-term. Since 2020, a focus on the wellbeing of employees went from a nice-to-have, to a true business imperative.

Impacts of a sustainable workplace There is ample research that proves just how important one’s surroundings are in deciding their mental and physical state. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Workplace Design Trends: Lasting Design Trends & Their Impact on the Workplace. In recent years, the needs and expectations of employees from their physical workplace have undergone a drastic change. The workspace is evolving and in response, the concept of the modern workplace design has evolved.

In fact, it was never static to begin with. Our understanding of design principles is in a state of constant evolution, just like the disposition of each generation that steps up to occupy the space at any given time. To delve into this more, let’s have a look at what makes for a great workplace including workplace design trends that have left a lasting impact on industries.

However, there are always two major components which differentiate a great office space from a good one. 1) Objective improvements that unequivocally improve the mental and physical well-being of every person occupying the said space. 2) Subjective design elements that cater to individual needs, thus actively promoting self-expression and actualisation.

Building Culture Beyond Ping-Pong Tables | Space Matrix. The landscape of corporate culture is rapidly evolving, extending beyond traditional perks like the once-popular ping-pong tables and bean bag lounges. As organisations adjust to the dynamic requirements of a rapidly changing workforce, the focus has shifted towards fostering a culture of belonging.

And rightfully so. According to a recent McKinsey survey, 51% of employees departed from their roles due to a perceived lack of belonging in their workplace. This indicates that beyond the tangible symbols of modernity, the true essence of a thriving workplace involves creating an environment where employees experience a genuine sense of belonging and purpose. Let's delve into the evolution of modern workplace culture and examine how office space designs contribute to establishing a sense of belonging and community. Shifting the Focus: From Perks to Purpose Organisations have acknowledged the imperative to adjust to the evolving expectations of the workforce. Hacking Your Workplace Design for a Thriving Work Culture – Space Matrix Blog. In the past, office designs often prioritised aesthetics or functionality over the needs of the people who used them.

This led to uninspiring environments that hindered collaboration and creativity. As the nature of economic and business environments, work and the needs of people change, there is a welcome change in how workplaces are conceived. With human-centric office design creating empowering and inspiring environments, starting with a preconceived notion of what an office should look like, organisations are now focusing on what truly matters – the needs and desires of their workforce. But how can you translate these inspiring ideas into actionable strategies? The answer lies in strategically hacking your workplace design to cultivate a thriving work culture.

Hack #1: Design for Interaction and Collaboration The days of isolation and siloed working are long gone.

[html format="filtered_html" different_values="0"] When it comes to co-working spaces in Hong Kong, the competition is stiff with 283 such spaces.

As a part of our global expansion plans, we branched out into China through the successful acquisition of Muraya last year. Our initial conversations with Muraya told us that this interior design and construction company shared a lot of our core values and cultural beliefs.

Together with their talented team, we looked forward to better servicing our clients in Australia, India and Southeast Asia. But first, we needed a gorgeous office for our newly expanded team in Shanghai. We wanted to rebrand the existing space to reflect its affiliation to the larger Space Matrix family. Moreover, the way we work has changed a lot over the last few years, and we wanted our office design to be more functional and collaborative. Fortunately, we had our best designers on the job! And when you look for an interior designer's office space, here are 3 things that happen: Work culture here at Space Matrix has become extremely collaborative and dynamic over the years.

Two Decades of Excellence | Celebrating Space Matrix's Design Legacy. 2001 was a memorable year for technology and the world of work. Apple had just opened its first flagship store and was about to release a ground-breaking new device called the iPod. Microsoft had released a brand-new OS called Windows XP. A free online encyclopaedia called Wikipedia was starting to make the rounds. A show called ‘The Office’ had just come on air (little did anyone know that it would be setting the standards for workplace satire for years to come!). Alongside all of this, we at Space Matrix navigated our very first year.

Through all the excitement, the challenges, the ups and downs, one undeniable fact became clear to us — that the world of work is extremely dynamic. That first year got us excited for the trends to come, the changes we would witness and the evolution that would follow. Early to mid-2000s Whereas offices in the 90s were still quite formal, things had started changing by the early 2000s when we began our design journey. 2008 to 2009 Early 2010s Mid-2010s.

Marc Nicholson, the man behind the members’ club 1880, has been a Singapore resident for the last 15 years. He had carried the idea of a members’ club that he wanted to create into a worldwide brand. In fact, he conceptualised the idea during his time in London in the 90s, where he was blown away with the fantastic aesthetics and business model of SoHo House.

SoHo House is a famous member-only club that caters exclusively to individuals in the creative business, worldwide. While SoHo's criteria to pick its members was ambiguous, 1880 was conceptualized with the idea of having more clarity over the members who could join. Spread across a 22,000 square-feet area in Robertson Quay in Singapore, 1880 features an all-day-dining restaurant, cafe and cocktail bar, members’ lounge, co-working space, wellness events, multi-purpose room and outdoor terrace. How the idea for 1880 was conceived Marc believes that his life in Singapore played an inspirational role in moulding his vision. Why 1880? 11 Best Workplace Design Concepts in Asia | Space Matrix.

Future-Proofing Workspaces: Space Matrix's 5-Point Path. Self-isolation, formal lockdowns, re-openings, and even a second phase of lockdowns in some countries — the last few months have brought several pretty big changes in rapid succession.

With these changes affecting operations to a great extent, companies have had to maintain business continuity by focussing on the immediate future so far. But now, with some promising headways being made into the development of a COVID-19 vaccine, it’s time to start thinking of long-term strategies. These long-term strategies need to be safety-driven of course, but they also need to go beyond that. With flexible work becoming the norm, the very role of the physical workplace will need to be redefined and rebalanced for newer priorities.

In order to help clients navigate these changes and plan out a futuristic strategy, Space Matrix has developed a Workplace Reboot Programme that is helping organisations find safe and comfortable ways to return to the office in the near term. 1.
