Strategies behind this setting
For Wellbeing
By enabling choice through adaptable furnishings, a range of work points and adjustable tools, this setting meets new expectations for flexibility. The variety of options are easy to read, offering different opportunities for interaction.
For Connection
Because this space is owned by a group or team, it's designed to facilitate collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and problem-solving. Circulation routes offer niches and other stopping points for quick, spontaneous exchanges of ideas.
For Change
Help teams adapt to change by giving them the ability to reconfigure space to reduce disruption and improve resiliency. Ownership of a team neighbourhood gives permission to group members to adapt the space to best meet their needs.
