Pilot spaces are typically designed to test and evaluate new ways of working. Based on proprietary typologies we help clients implement the most appropriate, evaluate the outcome before going to full deployment and implementation.The use of pilot spaces also allow user groups to test and develop design principles and planning standards for use in other locations.
