Unprecedented Times: The Future of How We Work

The COVID-19 pandemic created an unexpected and unprecedented global work experiment that permanently changed how we work. This abrupt transition from a ‘traditional’ on-site work model to a remote work model has had a prolonged effect on people on psychological, emotional, and professional levels. While productivity increased, well-being and work/life balance decreased. I saw this as an opportunity to re-imagine the hybrid work model in a post-pandemic world. How do we combine the best parts of working on-site, such as socialization, movement, and routine, with the flexibility of working remotely? I have created a coliving and coworking community where groups of friends or colleagues can stay for extended periods of time to work remotely all while exploring a new city together. Through deliberate space planning, I decentralize ‘work’ and ‘life’ functions to foster socialization and movement and increase well-being and work/life balance.
