\nOffice space has never been more in demand in Southeast Asia nowadays. In the Philippines alone, take-up for premium and grade A office spaces has soared to a record 459,000 square metres in 2015, according to KMC Mag Group.

\nSit-stand desks
\nAs more and more organisations become aware of the toll that sitting takes on health and wellbeing, the utility of the sit-stand desk has never been more apparent. Recent\u00a0research\u00a0has underscored the benefits of unconventional workstations as opposed to a traditional seating arrangement. In fact, call center workers who use a stand-up desk were found to be more productive, according to research by the\u00a0Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health. This could be a revealing insight in the Philippines, Southeast Asia\u2019s reigning business process outsourcing (BPO) nucleus.

\nFramery
\nSilent spaces
\nUrban sprawls begets noise. In such pollution, the need for a silent area to make a call easily arises. Enter the Finnish company called Framery, gaining fame worldwide for assembling \u2018silent spaces\u2019 that integrate well indoors.
