This book is ideal for design professionals, architects, workplace strategists, and anyone interested in the future of work environments and interior design. It suits readers looking for thoughtful insights and case studies on modern workspace innovation.

Increasingly, many of us can work anywhere, so what is the meaning of the dedicated workspace? With 30 detailed case studies of all kinds of workspaces – from traditional workspaces to sheds and studios – this book argues that a specific place to work is still needed but that the kind of space is changing fast and good design is key.

Description

If you can set up your laptop anywhere, what is the meaning of the dedicated workspace? New Work, New Workspace argues that designated space is still needed, but that it is changing fast.

As collaborative interaction is favoured over individual toil, with millennials and Gen X taking a very different attitude to work, social upheaval and technological innovation influence the forms that the places take in which we are employed forever. Metrics for measuring the effectiveness of workspace show that good design, which is focused on the environment and well-being that a workforce needs, is still valued. At the same time, more generic spaces, such as co-working spaces, have to fit everyone – or at least all of the target community.

Detailed case studies showcase all the places where people work – in large and small offices, in home spaces, in ateliers and workshops, and architects’ studios. With emphasis on the design details of the space, especially the interior, this is a must-have book providing inspiration for all types and scales of workplace.

Case studies include:

80 Atlantic Avenue, Toronto, Canada by Quadrangle
Nick Vesey Studio and Gallery, Kent, UK by Guy Hollaway Architects
Kostner House, Castelrotto, Italy by MoDus Architects
GS1 Portugal, Lisbon, Portugal by Promontorio
