In this current era of hybrid work, we are seeing the emergence of a new workplace trend focused on the experience of the end users. Combining the comforts of home with adaptable spaces that cater to different working styles on demand, the “hotelisation” of the workplace is gaining pace. However, the success of these new types of workplaces is not just about the range of amenities on offer, but how well these spaces help tenants and employees build stronger relationships and work communities.

Hotelisation of office spaces: The role of biophilic design in the workplaces of the future examines the current trend of “hotelising” office spaces and the role of biophilic design in creating engaging experiences that inspire productivity, promote good health and foster social connection. We look at the factors that have led to the current trend of hotelisation, and the key changes landlords are making to gain a competitive edge in the commercial property market. We tie these developments to interior design trends, before discussing the importance of biophilic design in creating healthy, human-centric workplaces.
