Reversible office – Has the office concept of the future arrived in the present?

Fixed workplaces are a thing of the past! Nowadays, terms such as non-territorial office, desk sharing, combined office or even reversible office are becoming increasingly common. Many of these office concepts are about space-saving workplace design that takes into account the increased use of hybrid working. The reversible office is also an agile space concept, which is intended to enable an exceptionally flexible and uncomplicated design of the space.

 

The reversible Büro – Everything rolls, nothing is fixed

The technical term „reversible“ means „reversible“ and therefore perfectly describes the concept of the reversible Büro. The most important thing here is to be able to shift and rearrange all muscles and stresses without great effort. Most of the furniture in a reversible office robe therefore has rolls and/or can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled. This office concept is based on the desire to be able to use one office for many different purposes.

For example, if your employees want to hold a joint team meeting, all the tables in the middle of the room can be shoved together to create one large conference table. If one of your teams needs a space for brainstorming and practising a presentation, the tables can be folded together again and the whiteboard can be conjured up. Basically, there are no limits to the imagination with reversible whiteboards. Depending on the size, do you also want to use the space for presentations? Then there should be chairs or stools that can be quickly folded up and folded down again, so that the conference room can be transformed from a morning to a presentation room in the evening.

Cost-benefit comparison of a reversible office

If you are considering setting up one or more reversible offices in your company, you will probably incur somewhat higher costs at the beginning. In particular, because you need special furniture that either has castors or is easily foldable and still of good quality, setting up a reversible office is usually more expensive than another office concept.

Another factor to take into account is the fact that you usually buy a larger amount of furniture for a reversible office, as it is more or less several offices in one. For example, you need sofas for customer meetings, enough tables and chairs for conferences and presentations and all in one room. The cost of furniture for this one room is logically higher than for other non-reversible office spaces. However, since you also have to rent less space for different purposes, you will recover your expenses in no time at all with regular use and benefit from the reversible office.

Don't forget: The electronics in reversible Büro

What you must not forget when planning your reversible Büro are the electronic cables. As you cannot plan with certainty where your employees will be sitting, you should have sufficient multiple sockets and mobile lamps. Unfortunately, lighting is often put on the back burner during planning. By purchasing a beamer, you then have the option of rolling up the screen at any time and creating more space. Permanently installed displays do not allow you the same freedom.

Of course, you are completely free to decide how you want to plan your reversible office. You can also choose a mix of permanently installed electronic devices and reversible modules.
