Challenge
The project was initiated when updating the lease agreement became necessary, and concurrently, the renovation of the spaces took into account the changes in work methods caused by the pandemic.
The interest of the landlord was considered from the very beginning of the design project, as property owners also benefit from improvements that are tailored to the tenants’ real needs and pain points. Enhancing these aspects helps create and extend lease agreements.
The diverse work role-related needs of employees were taken into consideration in the workspace design, ensuring that workstations cater to smooth workflows. Kohina-led project management played a crucial role in harmonizing the situation and needs of both parties – the landlord, i.e., the property owner, and the tenant.
