Storage is no longer an afterthought. Today, it shapes the workspace, supporting a flexible, impactful, and future-ready design. Heartwork’s storage-first approach provides companies with tools to create adaptable work environments that embody values like inclusivity, sustainability, and adaptability. With the right storage, companies can embrace a modern design philosophy that serves the needs of today—and tomorrow.
Modular Office Storage Designed to Connect
While some can think of storage solely for its function of “storing” items and belongings, it can support a variety of design requirements across the floorplate. Storage can serve as a foundational design tool to create spaces that help people work better, feel more grounded and connected with their environment.
- Delineate Space for Flexible Zones: Rather than using permanent walls, modular storage acts as flexible partitions, creating spaces where teams can collaborate or individuals can focus. These adaptable zones support varied activities, from meetings to quiet work, within the same space.
- Anchor the Team Neighborhood: Individuals and teams want a sense of ownership over their spaces, even in a shared environment. Nearby cabinets, lockers, and display shelving let employees personalize their storage. This empowers individuals, helping them feel grounded and invested, even in a hybrid setting.
- Adapt for Hybrid Schedules: Companies are increasingly supporting both permanent and temporary work setups. Lockers with shared use or smart lock technology cater to these varying needs, giving both permanent staff and visiting employees secure, accessible spaces that can adapt as team dynamics change.
Extend Storage’s Role Across Shared Spaces
Beyond individual work zones, strategically placed storage can redefine shared areas, supporting transitions, interaction, and maximizing functionality. Here are some idea starters:
- Lockers Near Lounges: Positioning lockers by lounge areas creates a secure space for personal items, allowing employees to seamlessly shift from focused work to collaborative discussions or breaks.
- Café & Break Zone Dividers: Modular storage can frame café spaces, providing a functional boundary that encourages socialization in a well-organized setting.
- Resource Hubs: Storage units in neutral locations make shared materials easily accessible, reducing workstation clutter and encouraging team collaboration.
- Flexible Meeting Corners: Stackable storage units can create adaptable, semi-private meeting spaces for impromptu discussions or focus sessions without permanent walls.
In the future of work, thoughtful use of storage empowers adaptable, engaging spaces that evolve with how people work and connect.
