Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design.
Creative Spaces are a concept developed by Steelcase and Microsoft intentionally designed to support the creative process. Most creative spaces are immersive environments that provide employees with the necessary tools, technology and resources they need to generate new ideas and move them forward.
Creative spaces also allow for multiple types of work to be done, whether it’s a collaborative project or an individual task. Including large and small spaces where employees can feel comfortable and work in their preferred style is essential for designing a creative space.
A dedicated creative space allows for cross functional / project team collaboration without interruption and will house all the necessary tools and technology to support the creative process. An ideal project team space will support the sharing of ideas by making thinking visible during the creative process..
Simple things you can do to start creating your innovative space include rethinking your office furniture, your wall art, and the lighting.
Through our office design and planning process we are able to create workspaces with creativity and problem solving in mind. Taking into consideration the different types and stages of creativity that are most relevant to our customers and the way they work.
Being creative in environments that don’t support the process is an impossible task. On the other hand, picture yourself in a dedicated creative space – it may have natural views, use natural materials and employ biophilic design, offer a choice of standing or sitting positions for a fluid creative process, or be a private space with comfortable and relaxed seating; for processing information and reflection without interruption.
