We’ve been reflecting on the differences between the world of work pre- and post-lockdown, and what our workplaces will become in future.
This taster video of our project for creative innovation agency Iris Worldwide makes us excited about the types of spaces we could be going back to.
Although designed and completed pre-covid, it’s a workplace that sets the agency up for a post-covid world.
Iris’ original vision was for an inspiring space that would bring their people together, to connect and collaborate. To work creatively with each other and with their clients. Creative incubator ‘pods’ were developed to support the generation and co-creation of ideas. The ‘hub’ – the fully flexible, collaborative area which we designed to be the beating heart of the floor – is like their own co-working space. It pulls people from across the agency together, to work and socialise.
Our research shows that this is exactly what people want from their offices in future. People now know that there is so much they can do working from home, but no technology can match the power of face-to-face interaction. People want a place to go that allows them to collaborate and connect, and be part of their business’ brand and culture.
Our space for Iris does all that. The energy, agility and sense of togetherness is infectious. And the buzz and dynamism encapsulates Iris’ ethos “For the forward” – which now feels more relevant than ever.
