Is it a Place?

The definition of workOr, Activities we actually do?

With today’s technology there’s no need to be

locked to a desk - we’re free to work where we want!

We do so many things today

Re-think

• How I work?

• Where I work?

• When I work?

• How we collaborate?

Instead of just one type of work setting, you will get a variety of places to choose from.

See the office like an intelligent tool that’s support ALL your activities.

So you can choose something that’s suits you and not vice versa.

WHY?

Everything we do starts with people.We understand people. We protect what’s important to them and want to make them feel special. We take pride in our role within society and recognise our commitment towards the environment. We innovate to make people’s lives better and less complicated.Our human-centric focus is what makes us different from all other car companies. And, it is at the heart of everything we create.

This is why Volvo Cars are Designed Around You.

Prestudy report

Better use of office spaceAlthough we collaborate half of the time we spend at work,

80% of the space in today’s offices is dedicated to individual work.

An activity-based design respects our modern ways of working.

It has generally assigned 50% of the office space to different forms of collaboration.
