The commercial world has become more focused on flexible and efficient workplace outcomes in recent years, with design thinking and strategies for both new and adaptive reuse projects becoming critical to address challenges for workplace flux, brand image and sustainable environments. With fast changing technologies and communications, AJA appreciates the design process as an opportunity to work with clients to understand evolving workplace cultures, so as to integrate them within building interiors and fabric while animating the public interface to relate to streetscape or urban context.
