Total Office Design: 50 Contemporary Workplaces

Total Office Design: 50 Contemporary Workplaces

How a cost-conscious and eco-aware approach to workplace design for a broad array of companies functions as a catalyst for architectural creativity.
Architects and interior designers face new and increasing challenges in office design. Employers still want to have inspiring offices for their employees (and to impress their clients), often with exotic features alongside the usual spaces and functions, but the design brief also must consider tighter budgets, increasingly strict environmental requirements, and the changing nature of how and where we work.

This international survey of fifty officesâ€•all built since 2007â€•profiles designs that have risen to the challenges. There are low-cost offices for smaller companies that typically use recycled materials and a craft-oriented approach to interiors. In what might be considered the â€œclassical approachâ€ to office design, plans for medium-sized offices often place a strong emphasis on environmental sensitivity and working within a tight budget. Large, often multinational, corporations need significant floor area for their employees, and while the projects have greater budgets, they also have to answer major environmental requirements. 400+ full-color illustrations
