Just recently, we took on a large-scale corporate office project. Regardless to say, we are overjoyed and are already working hard towards making our client's dream project a reality. However, with big projects come big challenges! There are different challenges at every stage, but to name a few of the many: 1. Design challenges  ◾When one designs a home, the user is known. That is not the case here. This requires the design to be accommodative of several preferences and showcase flexibility.  ◾ The corporate group you are designing the office space for, has their own set of branding guidelines, specifications and requirements. These cannot be ignored and need to be seamlessly integrated into your design. ◾The design has to be in line with the client's liking for sure, but should also offer an elevated user experience to all those thousands of people, who will visit this space daily. 2. Multiple consultants  ◾As the project grows, so does the team. Coordinating and communicating effectively among multiple consultants—from HVAC to electrical—is essential. ◾Each team brings specialized expertise, and as architects, it's crucial to ensure their contributions integrate smoothly. 3. Timelines  ◾ Every architectural project has deadlines, but the stakes are higher with this one. Delays could have significant repercussions. ◾ Meeting strict timelines isn't just about efficiency; it's about minimizing potential disruptions and keeping the project on track. This project isn't just about constructing an office; it's about creating an environment that inspires and functions seamlessly for a large community. It's challenging, but the satisfaction of seeing it all come together makes it incredibly rewarding. ____________ #CorporateOffice #OfficeDesign #NewProject #LargeScale #Workspace #Architecture #ArchitectureDesign #Design #Challenges #OngoingProject #WIP #FounderInsights #Founder #PrincipalArchitect #WomeninArchitecture #WomeninDesign

A workplace environment that inspires people to do their best work, to feel part of something bigger than themselves and to truly care about the people whom they collaborate with, requires design that elicits an emotional connection. To meet these requirements, modern office buildings must also adhere to the most exacting adaptability, sustainability and safety considerations of the 21st century. Mark Richter Sr., P.E. client development lead, recently participated in a roundtable focused on the design of office buildings. His commentary includes a discussion on adaptability and sustainability design trends, along with modern fire and life safety design considerations.

Are you or your clients planning an office relocation or refurbishment? Or do you need to review an existing workspace to ensure it still supports the organisation?    Unlike other sectors, architecture and the real estate industry do not automatically collate customer feedback to improve their current and future products and services. However, BREEAM, WELL and BIM all require a Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) to be conducted to achieve certification, and RIBA and BSI recommend them as best practice.    Evaluations are multi-layered, including feedback and other metrics like space and cost analysis, and can be tailored to an organisations’ requirements. As such they are not as expensive as often thought! But they can establish how a workplace supports an organisation and what improvements can be made. POE can also evaluate how well a new workplace meets the design brief or provide a benefits’ realisation case to justify project spend. It's good practice to conduct POEs on a workspace on a regular basis. And for architects and interior designers it’s a good idea to arrange a POE with clients one year after project completion to evaluate how the project is performing and what improvements, if any, could be made. This opens up a dialogue for future project work.    Over the years I've carried out over 100 POEs in the corporate, public and higher education sectors and can provide an experienced, balanced approach.    I've also authored two leading industry guides on workplace evaluation – the BCO’s “Guide to Post-Occupancy Evaluation” (2007) and more recently “A Practical Guide to Post-Occupancy Evaluation and Researching Building User Experience” (2023).    Drop me a line if you’d like to know more or are considering how to evaluate a recent or forthcoming project.    Or come along to my full-day Masterclass at MillerKnoll's new showroom in Clerkenwell on 25th September. https://lnkd.in/eWjZ-eJE   #architecture #interiordesign #workplace #workplacemanagement #officedesign #workplacestrategy #employeeexperience #employeeengagement #facilitiesmanagement #workplaceevaluation #postoccupancyevaluation
