Abstract
This paper explores the economic sustainability of new work environments by examining how interior design strategiescontribute to the OECD's Sustainable Development Goal 8 for decent work and economic growth. SDG 8 aims topromote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic development, as well as full and productive employment. Inpilot study, 46 employees of the brand are interviewed across nine sessions, encompassing focus groups and one-onone interactions. Using content analysis, this data is analysed qualitatively to interpret patterns related to spatialpolitics, timing politics, and hybrid working culture of the new work environment. Identified patterns includeindividually focused tasks, virtual collaboration, agile working, socialization, and urban interaction. These patterns arethen traced from the conceptual design crafted for the brand and finally discussed in terms of their alignment withSDG 8.2 (diversify, innovate and upgrade for economic productivity), 8.4 (improve resource efficiency in consumptionand production), 8.8 (Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers).
