Anupama Sharma, MD, Gensler Bangalore, gives us an in-depth insight into the design processes and approach adopted by the firm, along with the latest technological trends in the industry.

The New Hybrid Workplace

The malaise of workplace design in India was dominated by the continual propagation of archaic planning concepts and modular aesthetic with unvarying linear approach. However, modern tradition is now starting to dictate a slight detour. Working is no longer restricted to an office desk, it can happen anywhere and it’s on this premise that architects and interior designers look to create a positive and flexible working environment throughout the facility. Especially, in the aftermath of the pandemic, offices now need to reflect the flexibility and adaptability while, simultaneously, ensuring safety.

One of the most eminent names in workplace design, Gensler has continued to make its mark as one of the most successful firms to implement efficient workplace design strategies that embolden employees with the ability to choose what works best for them, thus, driving productivity. Ingrained in the very fabric of their design, the firm, backed with technological prowess, also ensures sustainable design concepts and workplace optimisation.

1. Rethink density to prioritize physical distancing.

For critical departments and workers who remain in the office or are soon heading back, we’re seeing utilization of the entire, now largely vacant, workplace being used to accommodate physical distancing. While maintaining the existing layout of desks and furniture, seating can be assigned to accommodate the latest recommendations for safe physical distancing.
