Steelcase NEXt office
Concept Statement:
With the result of the pandemic, people now prefer to work at home. Keeping this in mind, it's important to have the workplace environment connect back to this feeling of home. With designing for today and the future, this space will be flexible for any changes that may need to be done. Using NEXT's core values, this space will promote employee wellbeing through natural tones and biophilic elements. By creating a workspace where people feel comfortable and at home, work productivity will increase.
This school project was for the Steelcase NEXT competition. NEXT is a leading global robotics company that aims to improve everyday living through robotics. NEXT products offer innovative solutions to make life easier using sleek and stylish designs with eco-friendly features. NEXT aspires to be an inclusive and diverse company that embraces all walks of life and celebrates the greatness of individuals and to help them reach their full potential. With the variety of spaces, work can be done both in person and hybrid by using the different technology that will be included throughout the space.
