How to design an office for both focus and collaboration?

Ihmisiä keskustelemassa Spektrin kohtaamistilassa

A functional office should not force a choice between focus and collaboration. Both can work in the same workplace when the layout is based on real work situations.

Identify work that needs concentration

Quiet workstations, retreat rooms and small rooms help when work requires focus, privacy or video calls without disturbing others.

Give collaboration its own places

Team rooms, project areas and informal meeting points make it easier to work together without turning focused work zones into noisy shared spaces.

Use zoning to separate different acoustic needs

Active areas can form a more social zone, while focused work and retreat rooms sit in quieter areas.

Shared building spaces add flexibility

At Spektri, bookable meeting rooms and the auditorium can provide extra capacity for larger gatherings.
