Frequently asked questions
What is the process for designing a workplace at Studio Forma?
At Studio Forma, we follow a complete design process that highlights collaboration and responsiveness to create spaces that meet the evolving needs of businesses in the post-pandemic landscape. Our approach focuses on developing a workplace strategy that supports a better work environment for employees and enhances business outcomes. Here are the key steps in our design process:
Initial Consultation: The journey begins with an in-depth consultation with your team. We aim to understand your company culture, goals, and the unique needs of your diverse workforce. This includes assessing how remote work and hybrid work models are being integrated into your daily operations.
Site Assessment: Our workplace interior designers conduct a thorough assessment of your existing space. This evaluation includes understanding how the current office interior design supports (or hinders) productivity and well-being, particularly as companies rethink their strategies following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research and Benchmarking: We analyze industry trends, including the latest in office design and workspace design innovations. Many companies are now focusing on human-centric design that prioritizes employee well-being, fostering collaboration and productivity in a flexible environment.
Concept Development: Based on our findings, we create initial design concepts that align with your strategic vision. We prioritize collaborative spaces and activity-based work environments, ensuring spaces are flexible enough to accommodate different work styles, whether that’s individual work, in-person meetings, or remote-working collaborations.
Design Refinement: We present our concepts to your team and gather feedback. This iterative process allows us to refine our designs, ensuring that every detail aligns with your goals, including the functionality of meeting rooms, open-plan areas, and private spaces.
Implementation Plan: After finalizing the design, we develop a detailed implementation plan, outlining project delivery timelines, budgets, and resource allocation. This plan ensures a smooth transition as you prepare for a return to the office while maintaining a holistic approach to your workplace strategy.
Design and Construction: Our experienced project managers handle the design and construction phases, ensuring that your vision is brought to life with minimal disruption to your operations. This includes coordinating with various stakeholders to ensure that the execution aligns with your expectations and enhances the overall built environment.
Post-Completion Evaluation: After project completion, we conduct a post-occupancy evaluation to assess how well the new design meets the intended goals. This feedback loop allows us to continually improve our designs and better serve our clients.
By following this structured approach, we create thoughtfully designed spaces that not only enhance productivity but also support the well-being of your employees, enabling them to thrive in a changing work landscape.
How do you incorporate employee wellness into workplace design?
At Studio Forma, we recognize that a workplace environment that promotes employee wellness is essential for fostering productivity and job satisfaction. In today’s evolving workplace, especially post-pandemic, our designs are more than just aesthetically pleasing; they are strategically developed to enhance the well-being of every individual who works in them. Here’s how we incorporate wellness into our workplace design:
Ergonomic Furniture: We prioritize the selection of ergonomic furniture that reduces strain and promotes better posture. This consideration is vital, especially as many employees transition between remote work and traditional office settings. Comfortable seating and adjustable workstations help mitigate physical discomfort during long hours of office work.
Access to Natural Light: Research has shown that access to natural light significantly boosts mood and energy levels. Our designs incorporate large windows and open spaces that allow ample daylight to flood work areas, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and promoting a healthier work environment.
Green Spaces: Integrating greenery into office spaces has been shown to enhance air quality and provide psychological benefits. We include plants and biophilic design elements that not only beautify the workspace but also improve employee well-being, helping to create a more calming and productive atmosphere.
Flexible Work Areas: Understanding that employees have different working styles, we design flexible workspaces that accommodate various tasks—from focused individual work to collaborative group activities. Activity-based design solutions allow employees to choose environments that suit their current tasks, fostering a greater work-life balance.
Quiet Zones: To address the need for concentration amidst the bustle of a busy workplace, we create dedicated quiet zones where employees can retreat for focused work. These spaces are designed to minimize distractions and support deep work, essential for tasks that require significant concentration.
Meeting Rooms and Collaborative Spaces: Designing spaces that foster collaboration is crucial for innovative companies. We create meeting rooms and collaborative areas equipped with technology that enhances in-person and remote collaboration, enabling teams to work seamlessly together regardless of their location.
Wellness Programs: Beyond the physical space, we can collaborate with you to integrate wellness programs into the workplace. This could include fitness areas, meditation rooms, or scheduled wellness activities that encourage employees to prioritize their health and well-being.
By integrating these elements into our workplace design, we aim to create an environment that not only looks good but also supports employee well-being and productivity, meeting the new needs of today’s workforce.
