REGARDING BANKING
Need extra office space in a big hurry? Maybe to shore up a critical part of your Disaster Recovery Plan or to satisfy shifting departmental needs? Well, the answer may just be a workspace-in-a-box or, as Jack Brandsma calls it, SpareSpace Furniture.
While "attractive" may be a stretch, these simple containeresque workstations allow a conditioned room, ordinances permitting, to become useful workplace.
Like many businesses, extra office space, available on short notice, can allow you to maintain your workflow, instead of rolling--or sometimes screeching--to a complete stop. Additionally, and unlike some businesses, banks may only need the extra space for a short time--say for that audit team that has unexpectedly grown by 12 bodies or those displaced employees negotiating an office upgrade. If this is what you face, then SpareSpace may allow your Facilities Director, and you, a cost-effective option.
For a full description of the product, I refer you to the links in this post, especially those for Jack Brandsma and Dezeen-Design Magazine.
The answer to your particular problem may not be the Brandsma solution, but the concept of workspace-in-a-box is certainly something to consider, whether you buy a furniture system or have workstations built.
