majority of people had answered <i>&#8220;open space&#8221;<\/i>. The situation, however, began to change a few years ago, even before the wave of redefining workspaces implemented during and especially after the pandemic. The offices commonly referred to <i>as open spaces<\/i> are typically structured with a large open <i>area<\/i>, indeed, intended for the majority of a company&#8217;s workforce and typically surrounded by spaces designated as meeting <i>rooms<\/i> and <i>breakrooms<\/i>; furthermore, while in some cases managers and CEOs have private offices near the <i>open-plan area<\/i>, in other cases, private offices are not provided, and everyone works in the <i>open-plan area.<\/i>. This office model was originally designed to increase collaboration levels and improve communication quality in the workplace among members of the same department or team, or more broadly, to break down physical and communicative barriers between different departments and levels within some companies. This trend, dating back to the 1960s, demonstrated the benefits of closer working relationships among employees.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f98fb33 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f98fb33\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3ee8e6f\" data-id=\"3ee8e6f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b523a2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b523a2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Indeed, in the Sixties, the <i>open space office<\/i> has experienced a real surge in popularity: the so-called <i>b\u00fcrolandschaft<\/i> is based on a concept of German origin that refers to the &#8220;landscape&#8221; of the office created through design, with the primary goal of <a style=\"font-weight: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90236769\/hate-your-cubicle-thank-medieval-monks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;making the workplace more democratic and fostering more interactions among colleagues&#8221;<\/a>; altough, it is worth noting that, in fact, already in the early twentieth century, there were architects who had recognized the potential of an &#8220;open&#8221; design for the office: a well-known example is Frank Lloyd Wright, who in 1936, designed the first office building entirely conceived according to an open space architectural plan for the SC Johnson Wax company. The objective behind the modernization of office design and the shift towards openness was certainly to maximize productivity, also under the conceptual drive of business consultants \u2014 such as Frederick Taylor \u2014 who adopted it as a fundamental advice for companies seeking ways to improve their employees&#8217; performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4212146 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4212146\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0b20e42\" data-id=\"0b20e42\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-656f25e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"656f25e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If we move from the 1960s to the present day, the numbers speak for themselves: <a style=\"font-weight: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/worklife\/article\/20170105-open-offices-are-damaging-our-memories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in 2017, the BBC reported that <i>open space offices<\/i> had been chosen by approximately 70% of companies in the United States<\/a>, for example. However, research into the functionality and effectiveness of the choice <i>of an open space office<\/i>: according to some of these, the data would show that those who work in <i>an open space office<\/i> are 15% less productive mainly (but not only) due to concentration issues and distractions, which are more frequent in this type of space (the research shows that even minor distractions can lead to a loss of concentration of more than twenty minutes). Per questi motivi, soprattutto oggi che \u00e8 in atto un processo di ridefinizione e riconcettualizzazione dello spazio dell\u2019ufficio, il ragionamento sugli uffici open continua a innescare dibattiti che prendono in considerazione vantaggi e svantaggi di un modello che ha goduto per decenni di una vasta popolarit\u00e0. Our choice is to examine these advantages and disadvantages, referring to the research that over the years has defended or criticized the<i>open space area<\/i> in the office, but also to clarify which compromises or solutions can be adopted to overcome the drawbacks of the model without losing its advantages, and to definitively move towards the office of the

Moving on to transparency, the explanation becomes even more immediate: if all employees, from all teams and levels of a company, are located and work in the same place, work is visible to everyone, in a very literal sense. Therefore, it is believed that this sharing of spaces pushes members of each team to perform their role appropriately and in accordance with the company&#8217;s requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit;\"><b>4.

suits one&#8217;s needs. But the disadvantages listed show that the portfolio must also deal with issues of workers&#8217; well-being, concentration, and health, which are difficult to put a price on. However, there are measures and compromises that can be implemented to find the best solution for each office.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, it&#8217;s important to understand whether <i>the concept of open space<\/i> is suitable for the type of work and industry involved. For example, sectors such as banking, healthcare, and finance are less conducive to <i>open space<\/i> due to various confidentiality and privacy concerns. Other aspects need considering: the number of employees, as well as the potential presence of remote workers or alternating in-office and remote work arrangements with <i>smart working<\/i>, as smaller teams or larger teams with a fixed and regulated alternation between hybrid and in-person work, may adapt better<i>to the open space scenario.<\/i>. An effective strategy can certainly be to survey our employees about their needs, in order to identify the best solutions to shared problems that may concern the <i>open space<\/i> but also, more broadly, the company culture.<\/p>\n<p>From a perspective of balancing the advantages and disadvantages of <i>open space<\/i>, a functional choice is to also include various private spaces, perhaps on request or by reservation, so as to always offer an alternative for roles and needs that may require it. Furthermore, it can be forward-thinking to install services aimed at optimizing work, valuing the fact that those who perform at high levels <a style=\"font-weight: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gensler.com\/press-releases\/new-data-changes-the-conversation-on-the-open-office\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tend to prefer a certain degree of freedom on the workplace<\/a> and demonstrates working well both in the workplace and outside it: in this regard, <i>co-working areas<\/i> are a powerful tool that should be used as part \u2014 and not as a substitute \u2014 of the traditional office experience.

at Stella, we want to go further and advocate for a cultural revolution in the office and more generally in the dynamics concerning the workspace. Our idea is to create spaces and services that can offer the variety of spaces and <i>amenities<\/i> necessary to provide the best possible working experience for employees. For instance, <a style=\"font-weight: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/stella33.com\/en\/spaces\/venice-palazzo-isola-nova\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Palazzo Isola Nova,<\/a> our Venetian location, fully embodies this ideal by offering a wide range of services that range from a<i>clubhouse<\/i> to serviced offices, of various sizes and highly customizable, to dedicated spaces for <i>co-working<\/i>, <i>meeting rooms<\/i> e event spaces; all complemented by essential ancillary services to complete the working <i>experience<\/i>, such as parking, <i>food delivery<\/i>, and <i>event management<\/i> services.<\/p>\n<p>An organization can find every service in the same place, dealing with a single point of contact, and, above all, benefiting from a high level of customization based on their needs and a <i>community<\/i> context. Indeed, our &#8220;ecosystemic&#8221; culture pursues a model where there is space for every need: teamwork, individual productivity, long-term savings, and precise consideration of the well-being of those who work.<\/p>\n<p><i>The office of the future is neither open space nor private<\/i>, we would say; rather, it is a blend of models, obtained by taking from each what proves functional to the work and the people who perform it every day. The office of the future is many offices, each tailored to the companies and individuals who use it.
