Tips for Future-Proofing Your Office Design



Future-proofing is all about ensuring that your office design will be able to incorporate changes and upgrades easily as your company adapts over the years. While no one can predict the future completely, incorporating future-proofing into your design is the best way to avoid costly redesigns down the line and keep your space functioning smoothly as new technology and equipment is embraced. Here are some tips from our contemporary office design team to help your office fitment last for many years to come.

  • Future staffing needs: When deciding on your workplace layout, remember to incorporate space for staff who will join your company as it grows. Flexible layouts work well here, allowing people to hot-desk or work different tasks in different areas, so it’s easier to slot more people in than if you had a traditional cubicle or office system. Now is also the right time to think about implementing policies for flexible working conditions, so that you establish a functioning work culture from the start and make your workplace attractive to incoming talent.
  • Technology: Whatever your industry, you can’t avoid the impact of technology on your workplace design. Ensuring that you have cutting-edge technology and the infrastructure to easily upgrade as your needs change is a must. This also includes simple things like having enough power outlets in you space, as well as freeing up space by choosing reliable outsourcing partners for your server needs.
  • Health, sustainability and wellbeing: These are more than just trends – they are about saving costs, attracting talent and boosting productivity. If current efforts and their benefits are anything to go by, companies are going to keep pushing for healthier, more sustainable workplaces. This means making these areas a focus for your design, from bringing in natural light, cost-saving LED bulbs and clean air from low-energy HVAC systems to investing in ergonomic office furniture, healthy food spaces and activity areas.
  • Make every square foot work for you: The key to future-proofing contemporary office interiors is not to waste anything – from energy and human potential to each square foot of your space. Your square footage is expensive, so it should be put to use daily rather than kept empty for infrequent events like board meetings. Incorporating movable glass architectural walls and creating adaptable spaces that can change for different uses are just two ways to make your floorplan more flexible and more functional.
