I used to be so jealous of my brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He works in tech\u2014app development, to be exact. And he used to delight in telling me (bragging) about all the cool stuff at his office. There were foosball tables. All sorts of free snacks. A kegerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did I mention free snacks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, of course, came COVID and Work From Home. Offices reopened and employers encouraged team members to come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My brother\u2019s company offers the same amenities. But he opted to continue working from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An unlimited supply of Nature Valley granola bars and a ping-pong table just aren\u2019t cutting it anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is something office designers are grappling with at their new buildings. How can you compete with someone\u2019s house? Well, if you can\u2019t beat \u2019em, join \u2019em!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now architects are focusing on comfort in new offices, as Jordana Rothberg reports in \u201cDesigning an Office Experience That Feels Like Home<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmployers are asking if an office can be inspiring and stimulating,\u201d Woody Coley of Trammell Crow Co. told Rothberg. He explained that office tenants are now expecting wellness features and experiential elements. There is also a focus on allowing people to socialize and share ideas\u2014something that is difficult to do at home, even with Zoom calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, bye-bye, small, private nooks to make calls. No one wants to work in a phone booth anyway\u2014who are we, Clark Kent? Instead, office design is favoring collaborative spaces. Technology and hospitality are also influencing amenity spaces. Things as simple as office temperature are being analyzed for maximum tenant comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part of these new office considerations\u2014beyond delivering what today\u2019s workers are looking for\u2014is that a lot of them are low-cost, or even free. For example, Coley suggested having security greet each occupant by name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlacing the end users\u2019 needs at the heart of the conversation when conceptualizing a space is the key,\u201d Jonathan Pearce of Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge told Rothberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
