SERVICE OVERVIEW
Ancillary Spaces Become the Heart of the Office
New tasks require new modes of working. Today, work happens more quickly and in more places as developing technologies offer variety and mobility to a growing community of creatives and knowledge workers. As the dividing lines between departments and tasks are blurred, the desire for flexibility and comfort in the office is driving a shift toward ancillary (or more informal) spaces that offer more than the traditional desk-and-task-chair combination.
Seal Office Furniture Design Team offers these ancillary spaces to reflect the new office solutions being used.
- Ancillary Spaces - Both workspace destinations that promote collaboration and environments that facilitate privacy and focus are necessary to create an office that supports a workforce with today’s diverse tasks and personalities. In this month’s news aggregate, we see how ancillary spaces like lounges, cafés and breakout spaces are moving from the edges to the center of workplace design.
- Versatility - Versatility and domesticity are among the top trends, reflecting an increased demand for ancillary space solutions.
- Feeling at Home at Work - Residential influences like comfort and craftsmanship are some of the greatest strengths of ancillary spaces, as the best qualities of the home and “third places” for work like coffee shops are translated to a more productive office setting.

- The Best Place to Work - The popularity of remote working and informal interiors has raised questions about the role of the office for the modern workforce. Forbes shows that the office is still the most productive place to work, but companies must adapt and incorporate multiple floorplans to support the needs of individuals and groups alike. Bizjournals shows how workers can find better wellness and productivity at the office when provided with customized ancillary spaces like a lounge or work café.
Results – Organizations must offer not just a variety of environments at the office, but provide the right spaces for their unique teams to make the company campus the ideal location for doing the best work.

Consider Your Needs
Of course, you want to be as comfortable as possible. You to have enough elbow room, as well as space to get up and walk around. At the same time, you also want the meeting room to be small enough to let people know they’re safe in a group.
So get the numbers down first. Estimate how many people will show up on Meeting Day. Measure the room’s dimensions, and invest in a table proportionate to the size of the room. Select office chairs that are ergonomic, adjustable and affordable.
Ideally, the room should be in a place where distractions are kept to a minimum. For example, a space near the CEO’s office would be great, but not a space near the main lobby or facing a construction site. If you have to make do with a distraction-filled area, however, hire a professional to soundproof the meeting room.
The best Ancillary Spaces are the ones that express what your company is all about. If your company has a fun, playful image, for example, you can take inspiration from these 13 quirky office designs that’ll grab your clients’ attention. But if your company is more of the dignified and reliable type, the meeting room should reflect that too. Creativity is good, but authenticity is even better.
