As we increasingly measure companies by their culture, workplace design has never been more important. And, with the average office size having shrunk by 30% over the last decade plus, to 175 sq ft per employee, the onus is on architects to create bold designs that maximise space, light and customer impact, without compromising on privacy or staff wellbeing. Glass partitions offer an opportunity to reimagine or repurpose layouts. That design flexibility isn’t just in relation to layouts, but to the broader aesthetic. If you want your furniture and décor to take center stage, glass partitions can fade gracefully into the background, but if you want your glass to be the main event, it can achieve that too! Endless permutations – limited only by your imagination.
