The workplace as a tool
The spatial planning of an office must be synchronized with the managerial model within the company. Drawing inspiration from architectural field research done for medical facilities, evidence-based design provides a method to connect to all players in the workspace to find design solutions tailored to each organization. Involving various disciplines such as environmental psychology and the study of economic behavior, this method practiced by YNNO, an agency stratigizing design options for businesses, is the origin of the workspaces. Jan-Peter Kastelein is a managing partner and environmental psychologist at YNNO, a leading workplace consulting company based in The Netherlands.
