The modern workplace has evolved dramatically, and your office space should evolve with it. At Sander Tile, we've helped numerous businesses transform their work environments to better support productivity, collaboration, and employee wellbeing.
Open floor plans have dominated office design in recent years, but the pendulum is swinging toward a more balanced approach. Today's best offices combine open collaboration areas with private spaces for focused work and confidential conversations. Consider how your team actually works and design spaces that support different types of activities.
Lighting has a profound impact on productivity and mood. If your office relies primarily on harsh fluorescent lighting, upgrading to a combination of natural light, LED task lighting, and ambient fixtures can transform the environment. Where possible, maximize natural light through windows and skylights.
Break rooms and common areas deserve attention in any office renovation. These spaces support employee wellbeing and informal collaboration. A well-designed kitchen or lounge area shows employees they're valued and can become a hub for creativity and connection.
Technology integration should be considered in any modern office renovation. Plan for adequate power and data access throughout the space, consider built-in video conferencing capabilities for meeting rooms, and ensure your infrastructure can support your current and future technology needs.
Finally, consider your brand and culture when planning your office renovation. Your space should reflect who you are as a company and create an environment where your team can do their best work. From color choices to artwork to the overall layout, every decision is an opportunity to reinforce your values and vision.
