The DL Company’s MD Daniel Lowe tells unLTD creating ‘third space’ can help ditch ‘desk fatigue’ and instead create a relaxed, modern and contemporary environment for employees…

The notion of third space is based on the idea that our first space is home and our second space is work.

Creating a hybrid between these two dichotomies can motivate employees and revitalise work environments.

Third space amalgamates these two habitats, fashioning an environment that is more formal than home but less formal than the typical workplace environment.

Banish the formal furniture to create inviting meeting rooms and you have Third space.

Functionality should also be considered such as space for desktops and portals.

This can breathe a new lease of life into traditional work environments and is becoming increasing popular as employees expect more creative, flexible and dynamic environments.

Daniel Lowe, Managing Director of The DL Company, said: “It’s all about creating a relaxed social work space where people can have conversations away from their desk.

“In this digital age, and with Sheffield being a digital city, people want something new and Third space is definitely becoming more in demand.

“Third space is making the workspace more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, without the needs for walls, lighting, air conditioning and ventilation changes

“Younger generations certainly like it because it is all about boosting interaction and making the office space modern.

“It’s not appropriate for all meetings. A disciplinary or a human resources meeting should be held in a traditional meeting room.

“However, third space is multifunctional and well received by employees.”

Third space can be moulded to suit an individual company’s needs, as well as providing colourful and creative pieces to impress clients and employees alike.

First it can provide a setting for an impromptu meeting in a relaxed environment.

Alternatively, Third space can be used to combat ‘desk fatigue,’ creating an alternative space for independent work.

Third space allows co-workers to interact informally about their projects, which can encourage better communication.

All these uses make Third space an obvious option for companies looking to inspire their workforce, boost productivity, and motivate their team.
