It can be quite easy to underestimate the effect that working environment and workplace design can have on both employees and customers. The world’s most successful organisations invest significant time and resources into their environment as they know that it has the ability to enhance and support the success of a business.
For employees, chances are they spend a significant proportion of their waking life at the office, therefore it is vital that the working environment is inviting and is somewhere people want to be, not somewhere they have to be. Workplace design has been proven to have a dramatic effect on employee morale, attitudes, and motivation. In terms of recruitment, a well-designed and inviting workplace can make all the difference when attracting the top talent in your industry.
From the customers perspective, the office can often be the very first impression they get of the organisation. The space, shape, colour scheme, lighting, furniture, everything they see will make an impression, whether this be conscious or subconscious. It can act as an advert for the business and it needs to properly reflect the brand of the organisation. Office design also can also convey the type of organisation it is. For example, a lawyer’s office may appear more sophisticated and professional with darker colours and straight lines, while a graphic design office may be more creative with bright colours and designs. This is an important factor to consider because it shows the business’s function and purpose.
The following are some examples of unique, amazing, and in some cases weird, office spaces from around the world.
