Welcome to the KiSP blog!

New design considerations are trending among office designers (and our clients!)  all the time. Over the last few years, we have heard about hybrid work design, hoteling, and ancillary trends, among others. In 2024 one of the new top trends is the concept of biophilic design. This trend builds on the already existing design elements of natural materials and sustainability but dives into a more natural way of incorporating it into professional spaces such as offices, healthcare spaces and educational spaces.  

Office design trends for 2024 are shaping up to be truly transformative, with a focus on creating work environments that prioritize both sustainability and employee well-being. Many of these trends are continuations of the trends we saw in 2023 such as a focus on wellness, flexibility and employee comfort. These trends are evolving as we see more people returning to offices and a rise in spaces that incorporate more sustainability elements. The term biophilic has become more commonly used this year with office design for spaces that bring nature into employee areas.
