Elevate User Experience
⦁ Terms like ‘resimercial’ and ‘hotelification’ are shaped by experience. Resimercial blends the concepts of residential and commercial and the hotelification of the workplace is about learning from the rules in hospitality, namely hotel, environments. When we apply these ideas to workplace design, we find that it is evolving to include individualised and aesthetically pleasing spaces often found in residential or hotel environments.
Despite that, we don’t want to try and recreate a home in the office – they’re two fundamentally different environments. But drawing on the influences of home or what it feels like when you enter a hospitality setting, the office can unlock a new set of emotions and provide a different experience to the one we’ve become used to.
⦁ It all comes down to how it feels to be in the office and this can from high-level features such as access to natural light, food and drink amenities and technology down to smaller details like customisable controls for lighting and temperature, planting and quality materials. To elevate the user experience, there is a requirement to provide intuitive, human-centric settings. If you can achieve a sense of the personal within the office then there there’s going to be massive benefits in terms of thinking, comfort, performance and working relationships.
