Are we overlooking a vital lesson from the past as we navigate the evolving landscape of work? Edinburgh's iconic tenements, historical multi-story residential buildings, offer more than just picturesque architecture—they hold valuable clues for our future workspace needs. Built out of necessity, these structures made the most of limited space while fostering a strong sense of community through shared spaces. Today's common pain point in the future of work is efficiently blending living and working environments. Many of us are quick to set up a desk at home or scout for co-working spaces, but are we truly designing our environments for optimal functionality and community? Consider how tenement-style living could inspire modern workspaces: - Emphasize communal areas to encourage collaboration and social interaction. - Create multi-functional spaces that can adapt to both living and working needs. - Preserve and repurpose urban spaces sustainably, integrating the old with the new. Reflect on your current work environment. Are you making the best use of your space for productivity and community? Could historical insights inform your future workspace strategy? The efficient use of space, community-centric design, and blending of history with modern needs could be key to a fulfilling future work environment. Let's learn from the past to build a better future of work. #FutureOfWork #UrbanPlanning #WorkplaceDesign #Community #Sustainability

Need to make changes to your space but want to ensure you're getting the best possible return on your investment? We highly recommend starting off with a Feasibility Study, one of our core Design Service Offerings. What's a Feasibility Study? It's an in depth space planning exercise that analyses how you use your current workspace. Once complete, you will be given thorough and strategic solutions for a more efficient and productive environment. And if you have multiple locations, it's even more important! Feasibility Studies can help you to: 🌿Identify underutilized areas and find ways to repurpose them effectively- in many cases reducing the overall footprint required for your real estate needs 🌿Gain a thorough understanding of your team’s operations, enabling the creation of a workspace that supports both in-office and remote work 🌿Provide super clear ROI numbers, so you can make informed decisions about space reduction and reallocation Curious about our Feasibility Studies?

#Urbanization and the Demand for #HybridOffice Spaces Urbanization is accelerating, with cities becoming hubs of growth and innovation. By 2050, 68% of the global population is expected to live in urban areas. This shift is reshaping work dynamics, emphasizing the need for flexible, hybrid office spaces. These spaces combine remote work benefits with the collaboration and infrastructure of traditional offices, catering to evolving business needs and worker preferences. Hybrid offices are becoming essential in modern urban centers, driving the future of work in rapidly growing cities. #realestate #designandbuild #architecture #officespaces #workplacesolutions

Sharing more insights from our repurposing office tower report. There is an opportunity to truly rethink empty office towers and give them a fresh start, a new incarnation and a renewed sense of purpose that makes them truly relevant and useful in this new era - and beyond. To reimagine the former office towers we need to continuously learn and improve and not create static programs with no flexibility. To successfully repurpose empty office towers they need to be designed for ongoing evolution and adaptation. The days of launching a tower for just a single use and then walking away - are officially over. We must start to treat them as living, evolving ecosystems that are always incorporating new learnings.

The concept of workplace density is evolving as offices become hospitality-powered social hubs, but few leaders understood density metrics to begin with. I find myself frequently explaining these concepts to clients, but have not put pen to paper on the topic in a very long time. With my new platform on Forbes, I have made an attempt to clarify what I think are the five most common types of spatial density measures, with the intention of introducing a new, sixth one: experienced density. Article link in comments. This novel measurement of what it feels like to be in a given place at a given time can unlock new conversations with stakeholders about the desired purpose and magnetism of future offices…even though benchmarks and targets are hard to come by. I know the exact terminology and language in my short article may not check out with the most sophisticated architects and economist out there, but my goal was to make something useful for the general leadership population. Because we need them focusing on services and hospitality more than seat counts and hybrid. Curious to know if the concept of experienced density resonates, and if anyone has seen it used in recent projects. #futureofwork #density #officedesign #architecture #spaceplanning #hybridwork #RTO #employeeexperience #workplaceexperience #CRE #realestate

What makes small offices more appealing today?

They recognize that there’s a flight to quality, and they want to be included in the group of buildings that can be considered by smaller tenants.” - Ralph Benzakein, SIOR, LEED AP “[Smaller tenants] are more inclined to self-fund improvements if necessary as they tend to have more access to capital, and often at a lower cost than if provided by the owner.” - Street Jones, SIOR “Smaller companies, since they don’t have the negotiation power, often look for buildings that already offer all of these extra amenities.” - Tobias Schultheiß FRICS SIOR #OfficeRealEstate #SmallOffices #FlexibleWorkspace #HybridWork #SIOR #CRE #SIORReport
