Spectrum Architects in Stockholm knew right from the start that to be able to meet the demands of future customers, they had to establish a proper platform with IT, software, laptops and other equipment supporting the wide range of tasks for their new working practice – Activity-Based Workplaces.
Spectrum Architects was established in 2013 by eight innovative architects who wanted to concentrate on developing offices, specialising in concepts focusing on increased creativity, sustainability and a good work environment. They call the concept Activity-Based Workplaces. For a company like Spectrum to develop their solutions, they need to practise what they preach. They have therefore designed their own office according to the concept and ensure that everyone is at the same level when it comes to skills and expertise.
