When there is a need for collaboration between colleagues, benching fits the role. Benching provides shared access to materials, coordination across tasks, flexibility of team activities as well as shared space for updating team progress. Today, offices are shrinking and work is shifting from individual tasks to more group focused projects. Therefore, benching is most appropriate when designing interiors that need to be creative and adaptable. When designed properly, benching can give managers/owners the flexibility to change areas from semi-private to non-private workstations while giving the office a unified appearance. |
