How to Build a Scalable Office
Scalable offices create a culture of flexibility and are able to move with a team, as opposed to confining them within a rigid space. To achieve this, design with these key points in mind:
Choose Furniture with Smart Design
Office furniture design has followed the advancement of technology. Metamorphosing from traditional and stationary to modern, mobile, and extremely flexible, smart office furniture allows spaces to live up to their creative potential.
Take our newest open plan workstation, C9. This work system departs from traditional linear planning, bending space and improving sightlines, to help offices flow more organically. Featuring a multitude of workstation pod choices, C9 is adjustable to fit the needs of any space.
Not only should smart design and furniture offer flexibility in office space layout, it should provide convenient, ergonomic options for users, too. The C9 desk design and a variety of other Watson desks feature sit to stand height options and customizable, modular accessories to fit the needs of different users.
Know the Needs of your Team
Every employee works differently and with modern technology options, require their own unique workstation to increase creativity and efficiency. Offering desks that can be height adjusted along with privacy options ensure the ‘genius at the desk’ can choose the best environment for their work. Of course, creating non-assigned workstations or simple touch-down areas for visitors and impromptu team meetings allows for increased agility, without taking away personal space.
Create universal touch-down areas by configuring desk pods to feature a variety of different workstation styles. Designing set areas for specific activities and allowing employees to move around as needed gets employees on their feet, increasing morale and efficiency.
Use Modular Furniture Design to Encourage Evolution
Change is inevitable in any company and although it isn’t always planned for, choosing the right furniture and office design can make transformations and adjustments a breeze.
Ensure you choose agile desk options and muti-functional table solutions when designing your office space. Modular furniture systems make rearranging and adding new desks and workstations manageable without having to completely redesign a space, while moveable storage units and height-adjustable tables create on the fly meeting spaces.
