WHERE WE WORK

As we think about the future of the office in a post-pandemic world, this 320-page reference book showcases 51 pioneering workspace designs.

The office isn’t dead. But just in what form will it live? Departing from Frame’s successful The Other Office series, Where We Work explores ground-breaking workspaces, providing an indispensable reference tool for interior designers, architects and companies alike.

As we think about the future of the office in a post-pandemic world, this book presents important design lessons from the modern office through a curated showcase of 51 projects by designers worldwide. These lessons are highlighted as key takeaways at the end of each of the book’s four chapters: Designing for Community, Flexibility, Identity, and Wellbeing. An introductory essay explores how these four ideas – or ideals – will continue to drive the workspaces of the future.

The book explores the various iterations of the contemporary workspace, from co-works and corporate offices to work cafés and material libraries, and everything in between. Projects are accompanied by a detailed description of the design concept, sketches, and stunning photography on four to eight-page features. Key takeaways at the end of each of the book’s four chapters highlight important design lessons from the modern office.
