As the days get longer and the weather (hopefully!) improves, summer is the perfect time to rethink how your workspace functions — both inside and out.

Outdoor areas are often overlooked in office design, but with the right furniture and layout, they can become valuable extensions of your workplace. From breakout zones and informal meeting spaces to lunch areas and quiet corners, outdoor spaces can help improve wellbeing, collaboration and productivity across your team.

So, how can businesses create open spaces that support both collaboration and calm?
