After one and a half years of smart working, most of the people at CBA are gradually returning to life at the agency. The remote working experience has shown us that a balance between working from home and presence in the office makes it possible to enjoy the benefits of both methods: on one hand, the concentration guaranteed by smart working, on the other, the constant interchange of ideas facilitated by daily life at the agency. The new normal will therefore comprise a balance between these two different ways of working, with the objective of bringing added value both to our projects and to the lives of us all.
In order to improve the quality of our time spent at the agency, we have therefore decided to develop our outdoor spaces, which have always been the beating heart of our social interactions. The central feature in the new design is without doubt the green element: the carpet of grass that covers the entire surface and the hedges surrounding the perimeter create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The furnishings, consisting of recliners and colourful tables, were designed to facilitate socialisation, during both the lunch break and in team working.
After a totally virtual daily life, physical space takes on an increasingly crucial role. The idea of a terrace, handled in an informal and flexible way, will reinforce our group. Team building occasions will facilitate the insertion of new colleagues and give rise to innovative methods of presentation and workshops with our clients.
