It's no surprise that the pandemic has forced us to succumb to a new way of working. From going into an office 5 days a week spending 40 hours, we had to get acquainted with remote working practices. Like the case of most service-based industries,  flexible workspaces took the biggest hit because of COVID-19.

However, with the improvement in the situation & vaccines being circulated, offices are now slowly transitioning into the hybrid culture that encourages a combination of working remotely and in person at the office. According to research conducted by CREtech, roughly 60% of employees are expecting to be back in the office by the end of the first quarter of 2021. To make this work, companies need to convince and assure their employees of their safety with reinvented workspaces. How can they do that? Let’s find out!

There are several factors that need to be considered when creating flexible office space designs post-pandemic such as the number of employees in one location, stricter sanitation, additional ventilation, isolation of cabins, company public transport, and much more! Nonetheless, in order to make a change, it is key to visualize them. With smarter office designs that permit easy social distancing, more companies and their employees will be willing to return. This is where Virtual 360 NY can help. This past year we’ve been photographing before and after shots for co-working spaces and landlords who are trying to lease space.  This helps attract prospective tenants and enables potential clients to experience the space. The 3D Virtual Tours or Staging are great ways to recreate a setting that gives employees the feeling of reality without actually being there in person. This is commonly used among real estate agents and brokers to give their clients an idea of what their future homes can look like. Especially with the current pandemic, this has been a more successful way to attract clientele. Similarly, companies and organizations can implement the same approach. For instance, by using staging or rendering, a company can test out various designs with different types of furniture before actually investing in buying them. An accurate presentation of a revised post COVID workspace including high-resolution images, 3D models, and tours displaying a good use of space or a lifestyle shoot can be a convincing way to assure employees of their safety once they are back in their workspaces. With the latest technological advancements, the future of workspace designs seems smarter. We at VirtualNY360 can do that for you!
