This is a head background of the page next-gen activity-based workspace by 0813 Studio Commercial Designs Sydney. For us, ABW is more than just workstations and lockers in the workplace. Essentially, the design - as we call the name "activity", is based on end-users' daily activities. Then it involves other design factors, including the space ratio between communal area and workstation area, what to include in the communal area, or to be more specific what seating arrangement to be included in the ABW communal area... to name a few. And there is a technology piece in project consultation that we would recommend our client to consider as well, i.e. sign-in system for seat allocation, meeting space booking system, wireless presenters for display screen, etc.

We fully recommend Activity-Based Workspace (ABW) as your next-gen office design, as it promotes communication and networking, increases productivity and saves your office energy consumption. 

What's next-gen commercial office? What's activity-based workspace?

First of all, aesthetically it just looks different. We called it next-gen office interior design, as it does not look like a conventional office environment any more. We understand that the definition and use of office space have changed drastically over the past 2 decades, from the old-school lawyer type formal and private high cubicles to fully open workplace to nowadays vibrant, mixed-use, informal and flexible workplace.  Here we are emphasizing flexibility, daylight factor, occupant's comfort and tailored-design, where we put people first before dollar signs, where we promote performance rather than  9-5 works. 

Hence, We are breaking the office interior design boundaries and our interior design is fundamentally based on your office operation model and space functionality. Not only our office interior design provides essential functionalities for your daily use, but we also ensure the high comfort level and sufficient wow factors done in an aesthetically-pleasing and tasteful way. 

Secondly, from an office space functionality point of view, it is truly activity-based. The office design will be fundamentally based on the activities of occupants on their daily work, and furthermore the design will gently promote certain activities that organisation would like, for example, team building, communication, networking, ...to name a few. We ensure each office design element has its purpose to cater for one or multiple activities in your office. 

Thirdly, activity-based workspace cuts your company's operating cost. The activity-based workspace can potentially save operating cost by 20%, by providing around 20% less workstations required, and everything is running on a hotel concept. First comes first served. In a study conducted by Sydney University, the occupancy rate in an office on average is around 80-85%, and now with the pandemic, most offices are promoting home-office anyway, hence, providing less workstations would definitely be feasible.

 

In a survey conducted by CBRE, more than 100 companies were interviewed about activity-based workspace. Nearly 70% expected to incorporate some degree of activity-based workplace design into their facilities in the near future. Some of the biggest drivers to this decision are the  rising cost of commercial real estate, less profit in the years of pandemics, and increase of operation cost.
