Workplace design is going to undergo a dramatic shift in a post COVID-19 world. Remote work has been on the rise for years. Now, in our ever-connected society, the pandemic has simply accelerated that adoption process by forcibly imposing what was perhaps the largest work from home experiment the world has seen. Anyone who could work from home, has been working from home during lockdown. While there still has not been enough time to gather significant statistical data on remote work productivity, it’s clear that many people were able to work from home just fine. That alone has furthered the credibility of remote working for many businesses who are questioning just how much office space they truly require. COVID-19 has created a large-scale disturbance not just in how we work, but how we think about the very spaces in which we do work. We’d like to further discuss some of our thoughts on the direction of workplace design going forward.
