Could your office walls be working harder?

New research reviewed by Workplace Insights found that employees reported higher wellbeing, greater job satisfaction and stronger workplace engagement when visual art was part of the office.

Even more interesting are the stats saying the biggest benefits come when teams have a say in the artwork on display.

Great workplace design isn't just about desks and the latest tech, but creating warm, inviting spaces where people feel comfortable, connected and inspired.

One number we're particularly proud of is this one … 56.5% of our projects come from referrals.

To us, that says everything.

It means clients trust us enough to recommend us to colleagues, friends and business partners.

In our industry, it's the biggest compliment we can receive.

Think employees come into the office mainly to collaborate? Think again.

According to new research from JLL - leading global commercial real estate consultancy - 75% of employees now believe the office helps improve their productivity.

Even more surprising? Employees now spend 51% of their office time on focused, individual work, not collaboration.

It's a timely reminder that today's workplaces need to support deep focus AND meaningful connection. Open-plan offices alone are no longer enough.

If you’ve ever walked through Herald Square, you’ve seen it: the giant Macy’s shopping bag towering over 34th Street. For more than 60 years, it was a NYC icon, a landmark, a photo backdrop and part of the experience of being in that corner of New York.

But now…it’s gone.

Macy’s recently removed the four-story red-and-white shopping bag as part of a modernization project. And it got us thinking about office design. When you’re redesigning a workplace, how do you modernize without designing out the personality that made the space - and your brand - memorable in the first place?

At RI, we believe the best offices do both: look to the future while holding onto the character, stories and distinctive details people remember.

CEOs: when you're modernizing a workplace, what stays and what goes?

What does your team see when they look up? 👀

Your employees probably spend hours staring at screens, but what do they see when they look away?

A blank wall? Or something that sparks energy, creativity, and inspiration?

Project Throwback: Check out this timelapse of a 30-foot mural we installed for our valued client, PowerPak, transforming a white wall into an eye-catching focal point.

It’s important to create an environment that energizes your team, inspires creativity, and makes the workday more enjoyable. Give them a reason to look up!

September’s on the horizon - and has a way of feeling like the real New Year.

Holidays done, teams back together - and attention turns to the months ahead.

It's also the perfect time for CEOs to ask:

• Is our office helping us attract and retain great people?
• Is every square foot working hard enough?
• Is our workplace somewhere people actually want to be?

We've explored the six workplace questions every CEO should ask before year-end in our latest blog: https://pulse.ly/r2dz66bf8d

Thinking about renovating your office, but not sure where to start?

Seeing the possibilities is often the hardest part.

It's why we created our new “ReImagine by RI” rendering service.

Simply send us a photo of your existing workspace, and we'll create a concept rendering showing how it could be transformed.

Here are 5 things Gen Z wants from the office (that every other generation wants too!)

✔ More natural light
✔ Better coffee ☕
✔ Somewhere quiet to focus
✔ Comfortable places to collaborate
✔ An office that doesn't feel like 1998

Great workplace design isn't about designing for one generation. It's about creating spaces we all do our best work in.

A workplace doesn't always need more space. Sometimes it just needs a fresh perspective.

These 3-D renderings for a New Jersey client show how thoughtful design touches can transform the workplace experience without major structural changes.

Warm wood flooring, rich accent colors, biophilic touches and a variety of spaces for focus, collaboration and informal conversations all work together to create a workplace that feels brighter, more welcoming, and built for the way people work today.

What can CEOs learn from the Flatiron Building transformation?

One of New York's most iconic office buildings is being transformed into luxury residences - but not by erasing its history.

Instead, the design team is celebrating the building’s original architecture while reimagining the interior for how people live today.

It's a reminder that great design isn't about starting from scratch - but about recognizing potential.

Whether it's a landmark building or your current workplace, the right design can breathe new life into an existing space, creating environments that better support the people who use them.

As workplace designers, that's a philosophy we love.🍎❤️ (read the story here: https://www.costar.com/article/1353389362/a-look-at-new-yorks-flatiron-building-remade-from-the-inside
