The pandemic left us with a greater appreciation for where we spend most of our time—our homes. The past few years have seen an increased focus on maximizing and upgrading our living space. This continues into the new year with an emphasis on luxurious bathrooms, wine rooms, closets and cellars.

Today’s workplace is following suit with an increased emphasis on designing for wellness. These ideological shifts are reflected in the way both work and residential spaces are utilized…

FLEXIBLE WORKSPACES

Today’s employees believe the top three primary purposes of the workplace are collaboration with teams, building social connections and camaraderie, and developing personal and professional relationships. As such, offices are being designed to accommodate flexible workspaces and meeting areas. And when it comes to daylighting—the emphasis on health and wellness isn’t going anywhere.

For the glass industry, this means an increased demand for demountable partitions—movable, sliding, and folding glass walls and glass wall systems.

Designers and architects can answer this growing need with movable glass partition walls that are easily reconfigured into meeting spaces. Likewise, open areas with ample daylighting and functional areas with multipurpose use—think walls that double as glass markerboards for idea sharing and collaboration—combine durability and flexibility with a minimal and clean design.
