Workspace concept / illustrative product directions

The Workday
Commons

A workspace design connecting individual work, small meetings and shared breaks through a consistent material language and considered product integration.

Workplace typeOffice with shared settings

Design focusDesk work, meetings and breaks

MaterialsWarm oak, grey upholstery and black detailing

A shared break setting introduces the workplace’s warm material palette.

Design approach

Different activities.
A connected workspace.

A working day moves between desk tasks, short conversations and shared breaks. The design gives each activity a distinct setting while retaining a connected workplace.

Furniture and glazing define the settings. Repeated materials connect them visually, while technology responds to specific uses.

Clear circulation

The proposed route connects the areas without passing through the executive office.

Smaller conversations

A two-person meeting nook provides another setting for discussion and remote participation.

Shared materials

Oak, grey upholstery and black frames connect the work, meeting and break settings.

Spatial logic

A clear route.
Defined settings.

Open workstations sit beside the window band. The executive office and meeting nook occupy the middle zone, with the café near the entrance.

The executive office has an independent entrance from the shared area.

Work settings

The everyday workstation

Desk screens, monitor arms and accessible power form a coordinated workstation proposal. The details explore their relationship with the working surface.

Open workspace with oak desks, fabric dividers and monitor support — Open workspace furniture direction.

Detail of desk screening, monitor arm and desktop power — Workstation detail: support, screening and connectivity.

Executive workspace with dark desk, monitor support and task lighting — A separate work setting with related materials.

Small meetings

A room within the workplace

Curved glazing defines a two-person setting while retaining visual connection with the surrounding office. Upholstered seating and an oak table create an informal place for conversation.

Exterior of the curved glass meeting nook — Glazed enclosure and furniture arrangement.

Interior of the meeting nook with grey chairs and presentation equipment — Interior setting with proposed meeting equipment.

Meeting equipment views explore alternative configurations. Glazing alone does not establish acoustic isolation.

Material & atmosphere

Warmth through repetition

Warm oak, textured neutral walls and soft upholstery form the material foundation. Matte black details give fittings and frames a consistent presence.

Product integration

Products with a purpose

Furniture and equipment respond to activities within the workplace: setting up a desk, joining a remote meeting, checking room availability and viewing local environmental readings.

Product board covering meetings, booking, environmental monitoring and furniture — Product families organized around workplace use.

Alternative meeting equipment with conference bar, controller and microphone — Alternative meeting equipment proposal.

Proposed room booking panel and occupancy sensor — Room availability at the entrance.

Air quality monitor beside task lighting and planting — Proposed monitor with illustrative readings.

Final models require supplier specifications and compatibility review. AI functions require verified manufacturer capabilities. Display readings are illustrative, not project measurements.

SECTIONFORM / DESIGN IN PRACTICE

Biophilic, smart and material-conscious directions.

The following opportunities develop the concept. They are proposals for specification review, not installed features or measured project outcomes.

Nature-connected opportunities

Review the workstation relationship to the window band and opportunities for appropriate planting. Daylight, glare and plant care need a site-specific check.

Smart product opportunities

The product directions include room availability and environmental monitoring. Display readings are illustrative; sensor accuracy, connectivity and meeting-system compatibility need supplier confirmation.

Wood & long-term use

The warm oak palette is a visual direction. Confirm composition, sourcing, adhesives and finish documentation; assess repair, spare parts and reuse before claiming an environmental advantage.
