Workplace of the future

Metropolis Magazine - New York

August 2013

International Design Competition

 

The workplace of the future will not only depend on the technological devices that we could count, but on the various possibilities of action taking place throughout the day. The electrical devices will be important, possibly essential, but what will make the difference is the working environment. This workplace must be adapted to very different functions. An excellent environment, well designed, will provide excellent results.

Relationships will increasingly become more relevant. It is from the relaxed conversations between people where new ideas emerge: productivity increases facilitating meetings.

The process of creating a small business is fascinating. They usually start at home, without the necessary infrastructure and with a very tight budget. It is a field of work in which the economy, the spontaneity and the need for privacy from the rest of the house are the main points to intervene. Our proposal uses inexpensive materials, deals with different heights to suit different situations and has a bathroom separate from the one of the house where is installed.
