Resimercial Design – Where Home Comforts Deliver a High-Performance Workplace



We started with offices designed for purely for function, then we invited it into our houses with the creation of home offices. As Millennials entered the workspace this changed into the coffee shop culture office where work is mobile, engaged and comfortable. Now we’re seeing the final combination of the three – a resimercial office design that brings together the best of all these worlds.

What is Resimercial Office Design?

Essentially, it’s about marrying the comforts and wellbeing of home into the functionality of a state-of-the-art office space in order to gain the benefits of both. When it’s properly executed, this exciting design concept has a positive impact on collaboration, ideation, wellbeing and productivity. It creates a space that is more lighthearted and welcoming – designed to literally make employees feel right at home.

Elements of Resimercial Office Design

Successfully bringing together the elements of home and work takes an expertly considered touch – you can’t just add some family photos and your favorite armchair and call it a transformation. Instead, you should consider the following:

• Softer textures – Home comforts are exactly that – they’re comfortable and cozy. So, consider softer seating options in sitting room-type arrangements rather than hard plastic or metal chairs. Thick rugs that designate sitting or informal meeting spaces are ideal, and throw pillows add color and softness.

• Kitchen/dining space – Again, this should be inspired by the home on a scale to fit your business. Unlike sterile office cafeterias of the past, these spaces are seen as a hub of the office, much like a kitchen is the hub of a home. It’s a space to relax and share as well as a space to collaborate and confer, so choose tables that can be separated and joined together, warm, homely colors and even a fun bar around which to socialize. If possible, situate it where there is plenty of natural light, a view or an outdoor garden, as this creates the feel of being out of the office and promotes stress relief.

• Study rooms – These are multi-function, multi-use offices that can be used as needed by everyone in the company. A quite space, it’s a lot like a home office, and should be uncluttered but not bare or cold. When designing this space, think of how you would design your own home office – a desk where you can focus work, with a few chairs so that you can hold group brainstorming sessions or work on group tasks, and maybe a soft seating arrangement for small informal meetings. Here, solitude and comfort are key.

• Home without being personal – At every stage of this design it’s important to remember that it’s not about creating your own home in the office but creating a space where everyone feels at home. Keep it clear of clutter but bring in houseplants, put up ornaments and art but keep them appealing and appropriate, add some fun elements but remember to cater for quiet and private spaces too.
