We have often talked about how, over the last few years, the real estate sector has been dyed green. A necessity rather than a fashion, which has led many investors to convert to green. But with the lockdown, the work of many is in stand – by. For others, however, the optimal solution is the so-called smart working. We have described several times what the main requirements in terms of indoor working methods were. And now that normality seems to be partly back, a new need arises. The need to make the office a ”well being” and above all green place. So, if you are ready to learn more, we can start !
The new craze that’s going around is the office garden. A completely innovative idea that allows those who work to be surrounded by a wave of sustainability. It will be possible for every employee to have a part of the kitchen garden dedicated to sustainable agriculture. A cutting-edge project that combines real estate and greener offices.
Another element that characterizes this trend towards greener offices is the green walls in the meeting rooms. Or in gathering places. The natural elements allow for a relaxed atmosphere. And that’s not all. With this idea that is depopulating, it will be possible to obtain a double advantage: the first on the psyche of the employees and the second on air quality. In the last period in fact there have been many studies on how a healthy environment can improve work performance. Not surprisingly, there is a significant increase in the number of green walls installed in offices. In addition, there has also been an increased focus on the psychophysical well-being of employees.
Aesthetics also play an important role in this whole process based on reinventing working environments. Have you ever heard of urban beekeeping?
This new trend also makes its entrance into the new concept of combining real estate and greener offices.
And still others are the projects in the pipeline, dedicated not only to functional green, but also to aesthetics. The aesthetic canon represented by the adoption of new green parameters, allows to revive even the workplace, without making them too occlusive. In other words, the aesthetic advantage is a valid ally both for the workers, but also for the reference structure itself.
The combination of offices and greener environments has become crucial, especially after the pandemic situation. That is why we felt it was right to devote a column to this very subject. However, although it is not yet clear what the practical implications of these new adoptions will be, we at Realigro will always keep you informed. So, as we always say: stay tuned !
