Everybody has their own idea of a perfect, custom office. This is usually an office that best fits the needs of the company and its employees. The office is a place where companies can showcase their brand image. It can be an area of self-expression for employees. Most importantly, it’s a space that gives employees the opportunity to work to the best of their abilities. The ideal office can’t be duplicated. There isn’t a roadmap that helps companies build and design exactly what they need. The perfect office starts with an understanding – the knowledge of what the company needs. Without clear design goals and objectives, a company runs the risk of solely creating a workspace, rather than a beneficial working environment. There are elements of an office that can help employees be more productive, improve job satisfaction, and most importantly, promote employee wellness. However, the process of designing a custom office can be intimidating. There’s a lot that goes into building exactly...

For every design problem, there is a creative design solution. Take, for instance, the outdated and flawed hierarchical office layout where people had individual spaces and rarely interacted with one another. The solution: the open office. But, as we all know, the open office is fraught with its own design issues. One of the biggest is the intrusive sound level within the space . But what about soundproofing? The floor plan produces too many opportunities for noise with meetings, phone calls, music, and conversation. Those who need to hear you, like customers and colleagues, have difficulty doing so.

The way to do it can be attractive and creative thanks to good design. Acoustic Decisions To save money, most businesses move into already established buildings and need to manage noise pollution, unlik...

The way we work is constantly evolving. That means our environment, atmosphere, and offices are changing just as much. As the scope of work changes in our day-to-day, shouldn’t the tools and furniture we use change as well?  From collaborative work to recreational areas to private, focused areas, it’s important to provide employees with what they need to successfully do their jobs. The acoustic office phone booth might just be the answer. If your company has changed over the years, shouldn’t the way employees work change as well?
