Connected Spaces harnesses the power of technology to bring people and their work environments together. With a seamless, multi-device integration system, this project allows for effective monitoring and optimization of office spaces. It provides valuable insights into how people interact with their work environment, enabling the development of effective policies and design strategies that enhance the overall work experience.
As the lead designer, I worked closely with stakeholders from WeWork’s Singapore and US offices to define the goals of the project. Based on these goals, I defined a research strategy and prototyped ideas for use testing. We used an iterative approach to validate our ideas for building connected spaces with IoT systems. This project eventually became the Wework Workplace App and the WeWork Flexible Workspace app. This project was undertaken by me as a design consultant from Designit.
The traditional industrial-era work environment, with its sequential assembly-line nature, limited creativity, collaboration, and effective communication. Cubicles, once widely adopted, are no longer sufficient. To meet the needs of modern businesses, there’s a growing demand for dynamic and adaptable workspaces that support various activities and foster collaboration.
The Connected Spaces product provides a user-friendly and efficient solution for room reservations, facility identification, and employee collaboration. Data collected by embedded sensors in the building space empowers workplace managers to make informed decisions regarding real estate allocation and resource optimization.
