In the first phase of the design process, we focus on getting to know the client and fully understand their needs. We start with a thorough analysis, looking at the extent to which the current environment supports efficiency and growth - how the various elements affect the wellbeing and health of the users.
Research is an important starting point, so we always choose the most effective methods together with the client. Meetings with the company management allow us to understand strategic objectives of the business. The observation of users in their workplaces gives a real picture of the space use, relationships between teams and their working styles.
Through questionnaires and interviews, we explore the opinions and expectations of individual team members. Interactive workshops that involve the staff in the creative process allow for the inclusion of different viewpoints and experiences that are essential for creating inclusive spaces.
Using a variety of research methods enables a comprehensive analysis whose results provide a foundation for the subsequent design process and allow a working strategy to be outlined.
