A new approach is already making way in the corporate architecture and design philosophy, be it a start-up, an established multinational, an Indian corporate or even a speculative commercial office developer, which is redefining the way office spaces are perceived and are undoubtedly challenging the global office design approach for its own space in terms of function, context and aspiration.Gone are the days of perimeter executive offices, repetitive cubicles and rigid office layouts. Today's office spaces, whether created through renovation, adaptive reuse or a brand new building space, are a notable departure from the past.

For instance, they may find themselves more productive in a café cum lounge environment as compared to a traditional office confine. Today, work from anywhere using mobile technology, enables them to work in that fashion. The technology we use today has a direct impact on the workspaces allocated for an individual.
