Hybrid work

The modern separation of home and office environments has become increasingly blurred in recent decades. This distorted image therefore exists not only due to the global covid pandemic. The fact that during the pandemic, living and working were condensed as a digital uniform mush at the kitchen table will, however, probably also be regarded in the future as a watershed moment, after which working looked different than before.

The distinction between living and working is dissolving. The demarcation of office space within the workplace is also dissolving. Formerly clearly defined poles such as office space and meeting room are not abandoned, but they crystallise as fragments of a working environment that has a variety of equally important focal points. Entrance areas become lounges, the corridor is stocked with bar tables, kitchenettes expand into creative areas and meetings can take place (almost) anywhere.
