NEXT is a global technology company specializing in all aspects related to health and wellness to improve lives of people all over the world. To support its mission - space planning focused on promoting employee productivity and well-being. Research shows that when people work together, they are on the same wavelengths, which translates to creating a workspace that elevates NEXT employees’ individual experience and supports collaboration and team-based work modalities for this expanding global company.  Since technology continues to transform how employees maintain connection with one another as well as with other offices, and Next wants to support its already robust work from home policies, the design incorporates a variety of virtual reality/communication zones.

Using natural textures, materials, and patterns creates a multi-sensory experience. Biophilic design elements are integrated to create a seamless synergy with nature and support user health and well-being. The space plan includes a range of workspaces and thoughtful furniture options to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Lastly, post-pandemic social distancing spacing requirements were implemented to ensure NEXT employees can go back to work in a safe, health-focused environment.
