Artificial Intelligence May Mean More Flexibility Needed for Office Layouts

“The growth of artificial intelligence and changes in working practices mean businesses are also more susceptible to change”.  As soon as office occupiers get into their space they may find it doesn’t operate the way they thought on paper. One solution is to use modular offices and meeting rooms instead of traditional hard-walled construction. “These are the findings of the Lifecycle Cost Report, research carried out by cost consultancy EthosEQ and commissioned by Mute, which produces adaptable office architecture and the room-in-room office system called Mute Modular.”  Modular rooms can be installed over a weekend. “Mute’s modular rooms are prefabricated from engineered interchangeable wall modules connected with a patented click-in system. Rooms are equipped with integrated ventilation, lighting, media ports and sound-absorbing solutions.”  The cost savings can range from 10% to 60%.  Bisnow June 9, 2026
