Well-being and light are absolute requirements

For some years now, the need for office space has been in a state of flux. After periods of teleworking, many workplaces have now adopted a hybrid approach, where employees can choose where they work depending on the situation. Many companies have reached a point where their premises are no longer able to meet the new demand.

Although working in an office is no longer a standard assumption, and the average number of people using the premises on a daily basis is lower than before, the importance of investing in premises has not disappeared. On the contrary, even more attention is now being paid to the functionality of premises.

Attractive premises with a wide range of well-being-enhancing conditions. One of the most important factors is light, which is provided by large windows and glass walls. Movable partitions can also use glass material to allow light to pass from room to room.

Glass walls can be very large and spectacular, such as Event Restaurant Eventum at Nokia Arena a glass partition wall almost nine metres wide and three metres high. Glass partitions are also available in many different versions: fixed, sliding, movable and folding. So there is a solution for every application.

When the location of the premises is right for employees and customers, the starting point is very good. Smooth transport links and nearby services are good for your employees, but of course a central location is also great for your customers and business: it gives you visibility and is easy to get to.

So if your premises are in a good location, but just don't meet your needs in other respects at the moment, you should definitely invest in renovating rather than moving. With modern and flexible space allocation solutions, even an old building can be adapted to your needs.

Hybrid working means that employees are more likely to come to the office for a sense of community, which is less likely when working from home. The work environment needs to provide opportunities for communal encounters and social interaction. For example, comfortable break and refreshment rooms play an important role in the workplace, providing a natural setting for exchanging information and maintaining a workplace culture.

A good example of a community-friendly office space is. Paytrail's Tampere office, which created both a functional workspace and a social area in the heart of the city. This made the space equally well suited for efficient working and relaxed evenings out.
