First guiding principle
Activity based working - what is it about ?
The key principle of a SWoW space is Activity Based Working, or simply put: working in a space that corresponds to the nature of the work to be done, guaranteeing greater flexibility.
A well-designed space is not enough: Activity Based Working only becomes a reality by relying on the "4Bs", both the Bricks (nature or configuration of the building), the Bytes (digital environment), the Behaviors (adapted behavior) and the Branding (environment that reflects our identity).
In practice, there are three types of areas dedicated to Activity Based Working: Collaboration, In between and Focus.
