There is an office model worth revisiting: the non-urban, owner-occupied HQ,' says architect

摘要

In recent years, the non-urban office type has been largely overlooked, perhaps due to most offices being developed in cities. This shift to urban locations has mostly been driven by good access to public transport by the speculative office market that generally only works in recognised office locations where a wide availability of labour can be found. There has also been a reaction against the most common form of non-urban office type: the 1980s and 1990s business park model. These buildings were largely driven by low rental levels and convenient car parking, rather than creating environments that made the most of rural locations.
