Studio DB gets this. We’re creating spaces that blend the best of both worlds – the autonomy and flexibility we've all come to appreciate, with the innovation and collaboration that only a thoughtfully designed office can offer.

Read on to discover how proactive organisations are achieving this balance, making offices not just places to work but powerhouses of creativity and productivity.

The New Era of Office Design

In 2024, the game has changed. Businesses are downsizing their physical footprint but upscaling the quality. It's no longer about having an office; but about having an office that speaks volumes about your brand, attracts top talent, and retains them. This is where Studio DB shines.

• ‍The Retreat Concept: Remember when working from home gave us the freedom to shift from the living room to the balcony for a change of scene? Thoughtful design and build brings this flexibility to the office. It should create spaces within your workspace that are like retreats - think cosy corners, informal settings, and a library atmosphere. It's about providing a change of pace and scenery right in your office where subtle, yet powerful shifts in thinking can occur.‍
• Movement and Interaction: Gone are the days of being glued to your desk. Leading businesses are seeking office designs that encourage movement, fostering interactions and chance meetings. By strategically placing different departments, they create a workspace that's not only a place to work, but a place to connect and collaborate.
• ‍Elevating User Experience: It’s time to take cues from the residential and hospitality sectors to elevate the office experience. Studio DB is helping those companies seeking to foster greater staff retention, engagement and even innovation, helping them to blend the flexibility of home with the ambience of a hotel, making the office a place where people love to be.
• ‍Remote First Design: In today's hybrid work world, organisational leaders are acknowledging the importance of remote participation. They are now seeking design spaces that make remote workers feel included and valued. It's about ensuring that everyone, no matter where they are, is an integral part of the team.
• ‍Built for Adaptation: Change is constant, especially in business. Workspace designs must be easily and efficiently adapted for ever evolving business purposes and needs. Effective design leaders need to think ahead, ensuring that the office space can evolve with the business they serve. Flexibility is at the heart of their design philosophy.

Studio DB's Green Revolution

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room – carbon footprint. At Studio DB we’re not just following the trend; we’re leading it. We are committed to reducing the carbon footprint in every project. Partnering with Netz Global and Toitū Envirocare, we ensure that their designs are not only beautiful but sustainable.

Local is the New Global

In our quest for sustainability, Studio DB champions local materials and products. This not only reduces the carbon footprint but also supports local businesses. It's a win-win.

Carbon Credits: The Balancing Act

Every project they complete is a step towards a greener planet. They calculate the final material quantities and offset the total with the purchase of carbon credits. It’s about taking responsibility for their environmental impact.

A Legacy of Innovation

We’re not new to this at Studio DB. We have a rich history of three generations in the business, now led by a trio of visionary brothers. We blend this heritage with cutting-edge design and environmental consciousness.

In conclusion

As we step into 2024 and beyond, the way we think about office spaces is evolving. It's no longer about organisation a desk space with a power board, lighting and internet connection; it’s about innovative functionality, flexibility of movement, sustainability, and adaptability. Studio DB is at the forefront of this evolution, creating workspaces that are a driving force in helping people in New Zealand enjoy the work they do and be the workplace partner of choice.
