Space Occupancy: Making the Most of Dynamic Workspaces

Space Occupancy: Making the Most of Dynamic Workspaces

Workplaces have changed a lot in recent years, and businesses are still figuring out how to make office spaces work for everyone.

With people coming and going at different times, it’s clear that traditional office layouts might not be the best fit anymore. At Catalyst, we help you create spaces that work for both the day-to-day and the long term.

Balancing Short-Term Needs with Long-Term Goals 🎯
Many offices now have days bustling with people, and other days where desks sit empty. It’s all about finding a balance between what you need right now and what will work well for you as your business evolves.

We support you through considering:
- Whether your office ready to handle the different numbers of people showing up each day
- How your space can support your team on busy and quieter days without affecting productivity
- What your team really needs today, and what you might need in the future, so we can set you up for success

Spaces That Work for Every Team Member 🤝
Every role in your organisation has different needs, and it’s rare that one type of space works for everyone. At Catalyst, we look at how each team works and make suggestions for spaces that suit each one.

For example:
Would certain team members benefit from having a designated space when the office gets busy?
Can shared spaces be used to encourage more collaboration and teamwork?

By taking this approach, we make sure that your office supports the way your team works and reduces crowding when it’s busy.


Flexible Spaces That Adjust to Your Team’s Needs 🎧
We recommend creating areas that can change depending on what’s happening that day. Some days, you might need more space for collaboration, and other days you might need quiet spaces for focused work.

This approach gives your team the flexibility to use the space as they need, whether it’s for working together or concentrating alone. It keeps your office comfortable and makes it easier for everyone to do their best work.

Making Sure Your Office Space Works for You 💭
The goal isn’t just about filling up space – it’s about making sure your office supports your team and your goals. At Catalyst, we don’t just offer office designs; we help you think through how your space can support the way your business grows as well as how your team works.

If you're ready to see how a well-planned office can help streamline your team's work and save you money in the long run, we’re here to help. Let’s talk about how we can create a space that adapts to your team’s needs, both now and in the future.

Catalyst offers strategic, personalised consultation to guide you in making the best office decisions, ensuring your space works for your team and your bottom line.

Check out some of Catalyst's recent projects:

Gallagher Insurance Auckland Flagship Office
Gallagher Insurance, formerly known as Crombie Lockwood, were keen to get their Auckland central teams working from one flagship office, having been in two central city locations for many years. This required a complete refit to accommodate both locations and various functional teams together and also presented a perfect opportunity to showcase the planned rebrand to Gallagher.
