Offices to Become More Like Home in 2015

CHICAGO—In the past several years, office users across the nation began transforming their spaces from old-style cubicle designs into more collaborative arrangements.

Minnick is team leader for business development at Rightsize Facility Performance, a Chicago-based office interiors and facilities services firm which helps corporate clients transform or decommission their offices, “They want their office space to look like Soho House, with offices that are vintage and green, like a home living room.”
