DEGW lets the nomads roam around its office

Article Abstract:

Architectural firm DEGW is linking with Richard Rogers Partnership to restructure its offices in Hammersmith, London, England. It has made an extensive study of the requirements of its employees, paying particular attention to the time they spend in the office. It is shifting away from a rigid approach to office organization, and is looking to create a more relaxed, open environment. This approach is already proving successful at its 1,000 sq mt office in central London, England, where a 450,000 pounds sterling reorganization has been undertaken.
