We need to remember that we are human. And while the focus of late has been on technology and sustainability, the most important factor to consider is that ultimately we are designing spaces for people. And at the end of the day, staffing is a business’ greatest expense, but it also is a business’ greatest asset. Eighty percent of a company’s mon- ies go toward people cost, while the remaining 20 percent goes to real estate and technology. Novelist John Le Carre once wrote, “A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world.” Overly sedentary work environments cre- ate all kinds of unintended con- sequences, not the least of which is decreased productivity. Getting people up and moving is not only essential for their own personal health and well-being, but studies show that active workers are happy, healthier, more engaged and more productive. More and more emotional intel- ligence is becoming a major driver in our success. This is what sepa- rates us for machines and the area where humans still hold the high ground. This includes our ability to connect with others, empathize with and relate to others, motivate and inspire, and apply insight and judgement. Machines may excel at computational capabilities and be the “science of the job,” but man excels at visual cues, emotion/ empathy, ethics and social context, hence we embrace the “art of the job.” The workforce is diverse and what we do varies from day to day, often hour to hour. So the workplace has to be designed to be in tune with, and supportive of, how, when and where we work today. A one-size- fits-all approach no longer will suf- fice. Offices will have to transform into engagement centers, becoming the energizing hub of the company and their workforce, where people gather, share and connect, while work often happens elsewhere. Today’s workplace is about human- centric designs that empower and engage people. After all, we’re not just designing the environment anymore; we’re designing the entire experience. V Sargent Continued from Page 15 you would want to put some of your most interesting items or best sell- ers on display closer to the entrance in order to draw customers further into the store. If there are not entic- ing items near the front, you are less likely to have the customers come in and experience the rest of the store and what you have to offer. You can also fill this space with a reception desk that utilizes unique materi- als, which will draw an immediate reaction. Statement materials using translucent resin or 3D tiles can quickly draw positive attention to the space. This also is a great area to cre- ate fascinating lighting schemes to highlight your material choices and displays. Regardless of what type of com- pany the space is occupied by, the entry is your best form of in-person marketing, so it is worthwhile to use this space to your advantage and dis- play your best work to convince the customers to use your business. V Vanderbosch Continued from Page 16 the vacant land to the west and north of Denver West is dedicated open space for South Table Moun- tain, making it nearly impossible to turn that land into new develop- ment. The mountains to the west also create a geographic barrier to new construction. Not to mention, any new con- struction requires approximately $27.50 per sf net rates, while the highest rental rates in Denver West are well-below market. Due to pro- hibitive costs, new office develop- ment in the region has been limited to the new Federal Center buildings. Located a fair distance east of Den- ver West, the Federal Center build- ings will be solely leased to General Service Administration tenants with specific requirements and won’t compete with Denver West. Overall, we believe the potential rewards of reimagining Denver West for the next generation out- weighs the potential challenges. The expansive 82 acres offer a rare opportunity to create a true office campus, unrivaled by anything else in metro Denver. At more than 1.3 million sf, the portfolio represents approximately one-third of west Denver’s 3.9 million-sf office micro- market. By renovating and reintro- ducing the portfolio to the market, Denver West will not only change perceptions of the campus, but also the entire submarket.
