What is the future of the physical workspace?

Season 1, Ep. 8

This week I wanted to ask the big question of do we need an office at all? So much has changed over the last year or two and given us all the opportunity to ask how do I want to work? Here at boxxe we have all discovered new ways to work and are developing a work from anywhere policy to encourage these different ways to be productive. Now we are coming out the other side and the working world is opening up again it gives us the perfect opportunity to ask how do I want to work?


Joining us around the virtual table again to discuss this is Jamie Hinton, CEO Razor and Jo Horbury, Head of Design, Building interiors group who are the architects of our new, York central work hub.

  • 4. Where does the virtual desk go in your virtual office?

    21:02
    In todays episode is going to be interesting. In it's essence we are talking about the practical and the digital workspace. Do you need both? Can you have a purely digital office? Where do you even start with designing one? Since lockdown, we've realised that we can work on any surface space with little more than a laptop. Because of this, our physical workplace has become secondary to our digital one, which gives us the perfect opportunity for individuals to create their ultimate individual workspace. Weather your designing a IRL office or a purely digital workplace you still need to solve the same practical problem, how do we keep it productive?
