Tech growth: “The organic/pop up loft spaces of the early tech years – along with the young folks that wanted to wear t-shirts and cargo shorts to work – are evolving. We are seeing a maturation in the industry, as tech companies veer toward more sophisticated styles. This is not to say that the sense of relaxation that has long defined these tech businesses will disappear – the tech workplace is simply heading toward a more refined, polished look.”
Anne Kniffen, Principal of lauckgroup
Adapting Office Layouts For The Age of the Remote Worker: “The growth of remote workers, will accelerate in 2017. On days that employees are working remotely, the office environment tends to emphasize a vacuum effect. The answer is to scatter free address workstations to maintain density of those who are still in-house. This will keep help keep employees engaged and boost motivation.”

Coworking specialization: “Co-working is not just a response to working with others, it’s the access to amenities and ability to plug into an outside environment. Being in the right location gives people the agility as well as prime access to specialized spaces and lifestyle amenities. Makerspaces and enrichment spaces are just a few examples of experience-based design spaces that engage and support an individual.”
Michael Horton believes, “these co-working type spaces are springing up and are beginning to inform other work spaces.”
