When a client’s vision doesn’t align with workspace efficiency, I aim to find a middle ground that honors their ideas while prioritizing functionality: First, I initiate a discussion to understand their vision deeply, identifying any elements that could be adjusted without compromising their aesthetic goals. Second, I provide them with data and examples showing how efficient layouts can actually enhance user experience, productivity, and flow. Third, I propose creative solutions that blend their style with practical layouts—like flexible furniture or multi-functional spaces—ensuring the workspace remains both beautiful and efficient. This approach allows me to respect their vision while delivering a highly functional design.

This will come down to having a frank conversation, so that the clients expectations are managed properly. If the vision does not provide the practicality that the workspace needs, it is really important to clarify to the client why this is, so that they gain a greater insight, however, offering an alternative suggestion is always the best way forward, which then creates a case of... this does not really work, but if you consider this, it will potentially create the kind of space you envisioned without sacrificing space/ light/ functionality etc or whatever is causing the issue overall

This is very common... -We always have such hurdles coming up with clients where we try and explain clients the points where their vision of design can hamper the productiveness in the business and how the compromise in the design vision can just lead to a fruitful future ... + Ensuring the happiness of our own work family ! - We also try to showcase few case studies with their vision and draw a SWOT analysis of the same to help them understand the point.

Understand the Vision: Grasp the non-negotiable design elements. Clarify Efficiency Needs: Identify how the space will function best. Propose Solutions: Blend aesthetic desires with functional design. Educate the Client: Highlight how efficiency enhances their vision. Collaborate: Offer alternatives and involve the client in decision-making. Find Compromises: Adjust design while keeping the essence intact. This ensures both vision and functionality are respected.

La visión del cliente, es el punto de inicio para cualquier dise?o, es la base del encargo, nuestro reto es poder transformar esta visión en un proyecto concreto, con objetivos claros, si en el proceso de dise?o emerge algo que va en contra de la visión inicial habrá que presentarla (no es al revés, porque el encargo viene del cliente), discutirlo y ver si este nuevo objetivo se puede integrar. Para integrar nuevas variables existen muchas alternativas para convencer y representar la idea, planos, maquetas, renders, animaciones, pilotos a escala real... cada uno de estos dependerá del compromiso y esfuerzo que merezca el proyecto
