Listen Now

In order to hire the most talented, capable staff, business owners rely on a variety of recruitment enticements—salary, bonus structures, flex hours, and even a dynamic work environment. Resimercial design, a home-like atmosphere for the office, is quickly becoming the defining trend of today’s office projects.

In this episode we learn:

  • with commercial projects, intake comes from all stakeholders
  • creating a home-like environment is one way to attract the staff you want
  • in order to come to a compromise when stakeholders have disparate ideas, look for common denominators
  • open offices are often a mix of focus and collaboration stations
  • acoustics are an important factor in open office design
  • the addition of lvp / lvt (luxury vinyl plank flooring and luxury vinyl tile) and ceiling tiles adds to acoustic comfort
  • expect a mix of home and work schedules
  • virtual conferencing is here to stay
