Not to mention, the love for Scandinavian interior design among Germans is undeniable, thanks to brands like HAY Muuto From innovative workspace concepts to community-focused investments, there's much to learn from our Scandinavian neighbors. Here's a glimpse of a studio you can book in a library – a true testament to Scandinavian style blending seamlessly with functionality.

Does your organisation really need an office? Yes it does, here is one of the reasons why... Culture. Offices set and reinforce the values, culture, brand, and personality of an organisation. For creative companies, the office should inspire new ideas and allow artistic freedom, like All the Anime, who encourages sketching of new ideas on the walls. If yours is a sales-focussed company, then the office should embrace and reinforce this, with leaderboards showing top closers for the week, a dynamic buzzing outbound sales area, a bell to ring for every sale and maybe even a bar to celebrate victories. If your organisation is helping to create a better world, then your office should support and inspire staff with its sustainability. #rypeoffice #officeculture #netzero

One interesting piece of information I learned during the MIT System Design and Management Tech Trek to the Netherlands is that offices need to have a minimum amount of natural light. Every office we visited was full of natural light, live plants and even cut flowers as captured in the photo. We visited 10 different companies, at every company, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and as a consequence, promoted communication and collaboration.   From my own experience, I firmly believe the natural light and access to nature improve productivity and wellbeing. As more employees return to the office, I believe it is valuable for companies to take a close look at their offices. This access to light and nature will have a positive return for both the companies and the employees. 

"TEC is observing a significant influx of MNCs into its 12 Centres in Hong Kong, with each company typically occupying around ten workstations to maintain high levels of flexibility. As a result, the overall occupancy rate has risen from 71% to 80%. We anticipate this trend will continue, potentially increasing TEC's occupancy rate to 86-87% within the next year." Paul Salnikow, our CEO & Founder, recently shared his insights on TEC's growth and future in Hong Kong with Ming Pao Daily. Paul highlighted that despite challenges in Hong Kong's Grade A office building market in recent years, the city remains an international hub and a gateway to China. This status continues to attract MNCs, driving up demand for office spaces in Hong Kong. Additionally, many landlords are reducing rents by up to 30%, which is expected to contribute to a rebound in TEC's occupancy over the next year. Paul mentioned that he hopes to neither increase nor decrease the number of centres in Hong Kong in the short term, as customer demand is expected to grow gradually.

We are opening the door of a new chapter! 🗝️ 💚   We have received the keys to our brand-new sovanta office in the heart of Cologne! Finding the perfect location was not an easy task. But I accepted the challenge and jumped into the world of Real Estate. And what a success. After a great number of office visits, weighing up the options, many phone calls and emails, we finally found the perfect spot for our Cologne team. Here are some of my key learnings: 💚 Experience the property: Organize a showing for every property that seems interesting! The square meters described appear different in every office. Stairways and more are often included in the described square meters. That's why it is best to have a showing on site. The office we will move in now looked very small on paper, so first I did not even want to have a look at it. But in the end, it turned out to be just the right office for us. 💚 Be quick: Real Estate is like a race. Quick moves, seizing the moment, and making decisions fast are the key. Otherwise, you might miss a great opportunity. 💚 Be patient: At the same time, it is also all about patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity and property. 💚 Be flexible: Not everything in a property can always be exactly as you want it. There are always compromises to be made. You must be flexible, get on with it and make the best out of it. 💚 Don’t be disappointed: Yes, not everything runs smoothly during the office hunt! Maybe you miss out on a dream property, contract negotiations do not go as planned and much more. It is very important to not give up. Allow yourself to be frustrated for a day and then move on. At some point everything will work out!   You see, it was a roller-coaster of emotions. But in the end, it really paid off. I am very much looking forward to great events, workshops, and day-to-day work with the Kölle #sovantafamily.   In case you are in the same situation and need a motivational boost, then just remind yourself: "Et hätt noch immer jot jejange."

The new issue of the Italian magazine Officelayout Soiel International begins with a reflection on silence, not as a flight from reality or a sacrifice, but as a more incisive form of communication. A way to get in touch with our own thoughts and to focus our energies, but also to create the right premises for being heeded and heard… to create a gap that paves the way for a message that has been thought out and put into strategic focus.   How all this can be shifted into the transformation of office space?   In the age of connectivity and constant communication, silence has also become a rare and precious resource in the world of work. An asset that is often underestimated, but is fundamental for wellbeing and teamwork dynamics.   The design of office spaces needs to acknowledge and enhance the role played by silence, creating spaces that offer “buffer zones” of peace and concentration, where people can find the time and space to think in a critical and creative way.

Office property is undergoing rapid change. 🏢 First and foremost, the increasing prevalence of flexible working models and the focus on sustainability mean that traditional office concepts need to be rethought. In addition, the younger generation is increasingly demanding social and creative opportunities. Second, the current economic uncertainty is leading to a decline in investment. In 2023, only 5.3 billion Euro flowed into the asset class – a massive drop of 81 percent compared to the year before. A comprehensive understanding of market dynamics and specific locations is crucial for investment decisions in these times. 📍 EXPO REAL provides guidance in this dynamic market environment.
