- “… a place where you choose to spend more time without the pressures and formality of the traditional office. With a call for more flexible working hours already, people are spending less physical time at their formal office.”
- “Offices in a decade will be designed to best foster our cognitive processes and working preferences.”
- “I don’t think companies will be separated the way they are today. There might not be one dedicated building for a single company. Or even dedicated floors.”
