Office Design Trend #1: Work ‘Zones’

Last year businesses were striving for a super collaborative work environment, where offices knocked down the walls and aimed for an entirely open plan office design. This year however there is much more of a balance between collaboration and private work, as businesses are now looking into work zones.

These zones are designed so that employees can choose whether they need to work together or get away from unwanted distractions. For example the more collaborative and social working zones would look more like an office breakout area, whilst zones designated to privacy would be in cubicle areas or perhaps even office pods.

This trend is not only great from an interior design aspect, but also an office space design one. It allows people to choose how they want to work which will improve the quality of work.
