Predicting What Workspaces will Look Like in 2030

Plusnet recently published a blog post titled “Office of the Future: Slides, Robots and Hammocks: Room by Room Breakdown,” in which they predict what offices will look like 15 years from now.

Technology has been a key player in the workplace revolution, and from the looks of Pulsnet’s prediction we can assume that its role will continue to drive some of the major changes that we will see in the future.

The image below details how each room, or part of the workspace, will change or evolve by 2030. As you’ll be able to see for yourself, most of these innovations will be possible thanks to new technologies that are in the process of being developed or that will be developed in the near future.

 

 

OOTF2030

What we’re seeing here is the continued shift towards achieving work-life balance, which is observable in the attention that’s given to wellness and health factors. There’s also a stronger pull towards automation and artificial intelligence, which doesn’t come as a surprise given recent AI developments and improvements.

In terms of design, Pulsnet is strongly leaning towards open-plan spaces, however we don’t agree with them. As we’ve mentioned previously, the flexible workspace industry is starting to implement hybrid models as the market demands more flexibility in terms of the space they require for different situations.

An important element to draw attention to is how workplaces of 2030 will be more environmentally friendly. Though there  already exist workspaces that implement eco-friendly practices today, these will only increase in number as younger generations are more environmentally conscious and as governments are likely to set legislations that require businesses to adhere to certain environmental standards.   

Continue to the next page for more details on the main features of workplaces of the future.

  • Diagnostic toilets that analyse your health

In order to make the right predictions, Pulsnet interviewed various futurists and visionaries on how they envisioned the office of the future and the technologies that would be necessary for these changes, as well as the technologies that they believed would be the next ‘big thing’.
