New Project Highlight: Infoblox
 
As Infoblox’s Burnaby team grew, it needed more than additional space. It needed a workplace that could accommodate more people while supporting focus, collaboration and connection.
 
Inspired by mycelium, an interconnected network representing growth and resilience, the design reflects how Infoblox connects people and technology.
 
Strategic space planning increased capacity and introduced more choice in where and how employees work. The completed office includes meeting rooms, informal collaboration areas, phone booths, hoteling stations, wellness rooms, recreational spaces and flexible lunchroom and town hall spaces.
 
Aura Office’s integrated design-build approach brought interior design, construction and project management together from concept through completion.

Workplace trends can be useful. But they shouldn’t become the default answer for every organization.

Attendance patterns, the type of work people do, how teams collaborate, where they need privacy, and what they value from the office can all point to a very different solution.

That’s why workplace decisions are stronger when they are based on evidence rather than assumptions about what an office “should” look like.

Aura Office’s Workplace Strategy Programs are designed to help uncover those work patterns, needs and behaviours before they become design decisions.

Swipe through three workplace trends worth looking at more closely.

Does every office still need a traditional reception desk?
 
For some organizations, absolutely. For others, the space may be better used differently.
 
The decision depends on what happens when someone arrives.
 
How frequently do clients visit?
Is security or access control important?
Does someone need to greet and direct visitors?
Is the arrival space regularly used for hosting?
What should a first-time visitor understand about the organization when they walk in?
 
A reception can be functional, hospitality-focused or a combination of both.
 
The goal should not be to remove the reception desk because it feels traditional, or include one because offices have always had them.
 
Design the arrival experience around what visitors and employees actually need it to do.

Private offices are often among the first spaces questioned when an organization needs to accommodate more people within a limited footprint.
 
Adding more open workstations may appear efficient, but some roles still require privacy for confidential conversations, virtual meetings or sustained focus. Others may only need occasional access to a focus room or phone booth.
 
The right balance comes from understanding who needs enclosed space, how often they need it and what type of work it needs to support.

Assigned seating is not a yes-or-no decision.
 
In a hybrid workplace, the better question is: 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻?
 
With average office utilization hovering around 56%, the traditional one-desk-per-person model can leave rows of workstations unused. But removing assigned seating across the board can create a different problem. Employees may arrive unsure where to work, separated from their teammates, or unable to find a space that supports the task at hand.
 
Most organizations need a thoughtful mix:
 
👉🏼 Assigned workstations for employees who are in frequently, use specialized equipment, handle confidential materials, or require specific accommodations.
 
👉🏼 Team neighbourhoods and shared workstations for hybrid groups that want flexibility without losing proximity.
 
👉🏼 Touchdown spaces for employees visiting the office for meetings or shorter periods.
 
👉🏼 Focus rooms, phone booths, collaborative areas, and social spaces that replace underused workstations with environments people actually need.
 
Attendance patterns also matter. An office can feel empty on Monday and overcrowded on Wednesday. Looking at utilization by day, team, and space type can reveal whether the issue is the number of desks, how they are allocated, or when people are coming in.
 
The goal is not to eliminate assigned seating. It is to ensure every seat and every square foot has a purpose.
