What's the best way to work? It's become a big topic for both employees and employers in recent years. No matter which side of the debate you’re on – remote, in-office or hybrid – the physical environment that supports your workplace strategy needs to cater to the ever-changing expectations of the market. Companies often invest significant time and resources, not to mention embedded carbon, into a cycle of workplace upgrades every five years. But what if office interiors were not finite and fixed – what if we could create an endless suite of opportunities? Our Workplace team have been developing reconfigurable modular blocks of space with our clients over the last couple of years. Concept models are put through rigorous testing with stakeholders to identify the minimum viable configurations of a modular ‘kit of parts’. This approach provides a robust foundation for dynamic work environments, reduces waste and costs, and supports the creation of versatile spaces using sustainable materials.

Love this topic, great visualisations
Really encouraging to see modularity being explored so thoughtfully here. Reconfigurable space is such an important lever for circularity and long-term asset value. One thing we’ve noticed in our work with sustainable flooring is that materials alone aren’t the full story. The way they’re installed can make or break reusability. Adhesives, for example, prevent true circularity by damaging subfloors and locking materials in place—making future uplift carbon heavy and reuse near impossible.
Izzy! So good..!
