Reimagining Workplaces: Exploring the Future of Office Design with Hollie Welch at dMFK

Office design has changed sharply since the pandemic, but the real question is not whether offices still matter. It is what kind of workplace is worth travelling for.

Stephen Drew speaks with Hollie Welch, Associate Director at dMFK, about commercial office design, changing workplace expectations, sustainability, team culture and how practices can make offices work harder for the people using them.

The conversation covers:

How commercial office design has changed since the pandemic

Why user experience and staff attraction now matter more in workplace projects

How sustainability is shaping office design decisions
