The Expanded Desk: Mobility Within Office Walls

In this week’s NEREJ issue, Sasaki Principal Victor Vizgaitis AIA LEED® AP expands on the discussion of open-office plan design, pointing out that the loss of private office space does not mean a loss of individual work space.

Rather, companies can and should think about how an employee’s “desk” can now encompass the whole office. For example, at the award-winning Havas/Arnold Worldwide’s Boston headquarters—a design and build-out led by Victor and team—in the course of a day, employees armed with laptops and Wi-fi can roam from clusters of individual work stations, to café table, to standing work bench, to collaboration room, to staircase seating, to soft seating areas that replicate the comfort of a private living room. For a creative company that thrives when face-to-face interaction spurs innovation and creative spark, having happy and productive workers on the move within the confines of the office is critical to conducting good business.
