If Only... work performance was like a music gig


...says Dan Pilling, Maber Architects


Performance is a key buzzword of the modern workplace, but what if the increasingly transient nature of work was facilitated by a wholly different environment? Often we resolve to do the best we can in the workspace we’re given, but is this the only way?

Welcome to the WorkStage: You are the lead singer, your backstage team is focused on getting everything right so you can perform to your best… supported by FMs sporting roadie black-denim chic, the stage set with the instruments of your trade, light and sound aligned with your set (task) list, the soundtrack for your work day enhanced by your rider of coffee and pastries… cue Eighties’ power ballad! It certainly brings a new meaning to ‘plug in and play’.
