Buzz Words
Each client's needs are truly unique and require research on the designer's part to help guide and recommend solutions. The use of
"Buzz Words" can help get to the root of the design intent and can help drive where your first visioning session will lead.
If you are struggling with finding your design style or even want to get input from your staff on what types of features should be in the new office space, try writing down 5-10 words that you feel best describe the use of the space that you want to have. This can help focus the conversation between wants and needs.
Example: oasis, nature, focus, recharge, technology
For a commercial space, these simple words show that the space should provide outdoor views, the color pallet is relaxing and timeless, that there should also be quiet spaces for team huddles, small meetings or phone calls. The capabilities in this room(s) should have connection to a TV for sharing, laptop and phone charging options. Furniture should be a relaxed lounging style that is resi-mercial (residential + commercial) for a relaxed sit and meeting style.
