Forty-five methods. Six phases. One disciplined structure.
Workshop I — Findings from Data
The consolidation of the full evidence base into one coherent, contestable account of how this organisation works — presented for collective interrogation, not passive receipt.
Workshop II — Key Criteria
The conversion of evidence and ambition into the ranked criteria against which every workplace option will be judged — agreed before any option exists.
Workshop III — Workplace Options
The structured comparison of genuinely different workplace options against the ranked criteria — testing directions before committing to one.
Workshop IV — Workplace Concept
The resolution of the leading direction into the confirmed workplace concept — coherent, evidenced, decided, and formally owned.
Sharing Ratio
The evidence-based determination of desk and setting sharing — derived from workforce demand, attendance rhythm and peak structure, with its risk scenarios and change implications made explicit.
Stacking and Blocking
The allocation of teams, functions and zones across floors and buildings — converting adjacency evidence, capacity models and building constraints into a spatial distribution.
Kit of Parts
The definition of the complete workplace setting system — every setting type, its purpose, quantity, requirements and behavioural logic — from focus and team settings to hospitality, wellbeing and specialist environments.
Architectural Guidance
The translation of the concept and kit into design-governing guidance: spatial, environmental, acoustic, lighting, thermal, biophilic, accessibility, technology and identity requirements the design team must satisfy.
