The science fiction writer William Gibson is reported to have once said, "The future is already here; it just isn't evenly distributed." In the course of our work we have seen a wide spectrum of fascinating examples of the "new work environment" that are already in existence. We are in the process of compiling case studies from our 2002/3 project year and will make them available free of charge shortly.

The Live/Work Project

The purpose of the project is to provide a living laboratory for all disciplines interested in evaluating design options for their products and services.

Business Partners

We are also proud to be associated with a number of other small, independent firms that provide expert services in a variety of areas related to the changing workplace and workforce. We offer these links in the interest of enhancing the quality of work everywhere.
