(If you know, you know)….
Multifamily communities are following the hybrid and work from home trends. To accommodate this ebb and flow, developments are offering dedicated workspaces or co-working areas for residents that work remotely.
Things to keep in mind for these office spaces:
Flexibility is key. Residents are looking for these office flex spaces. Versatility is also important.
Is the planned area's end game more zen and inspirational? Go for lighter ethereal paint colors, flooring options, and furniture.
The bolder colors and more graphic textures can give more of a creative spot for brainstorming and idea making.
Cozy and quiet zones are another direction to take for concentration, zoom calls, and deep thinking. Soft surfaces for furniture and carpet tiles are great choices to absorb sound.
Proper smart technology is a must no matter the size or style of the space.
Cool backdrops can range from a modern moody painted feature wall to artfully hung oversized canvases.
Caffeine is always good for the win and second wind. Fuel your residents with affordable tasty snacks and possibly a coffee bar.
Do you have anything else to add to the list for a remote work flex space? What does your flex room look like? Please let me know in the comments. (Or drop your favorite Office quote.)
