A New Concept: The Resi-mercial Workspace
The term "Resi-mercial" was previously used to denote mixed-use architecture (Resi-commercial). Today, it has shifted into office design and planning to describe the trend of blending residential styles with commercial spatial design.
A portmanteau of Residential and Commercial.
As enterprises increasingly pursue comfort and personalized office environments, the concept of "Resi-mercial" has garnered significant attention.
Generational Shifts and Work-Life Balance
As Millennials (Gen Y) and Gen Z enter the workforce, employees have begun to prioritize work-life balance. In office design trends, the term Resi-mercial refers to a design concept that integrates the warmth of home with the functionality of a business environment.
This new philosophy focuses on infusing the warm atmosphere of a home into traditional commercial office planning. It creates a more comfortable, "human-centric" environment while retaining the essential functions and efficiency required for business.
The "Daytime Living Room"
As designer George Nelson said in 1952: "The office should be a daytime living room!"
Traditional offices often feel formal and cold, lacking warmth and personality due to standardized layouts and rigid work behaviors. As working hours increase, expectations for workplace comfort have risen, making the introduction of residential elements into office design a prominent new trend.。
Planning a Resi-mercial Workspace
By introducing the Resi-mercial concept into the workspace, we can observe more human-centric and personalized designs. The selection of office furniture focuses more on comfort and practicality, with color palettes leaning toward soft and warm tones, and materials becoming more natural. Furthermore, home-style decorations and arrangements have become highlights of office design, adding a sense of daily life to the professional environment.

Enhancing Well-being and Creativity
The design philosophy of a Resi-mercial workspace aims not only to improve work efficiency but, more importantly, to enhance employee well-being and satisfaction. A warm and comfortable office environment can stimulate creativity and potential, fostering teamwork and innovation.
Office furniture should appropriately blend residential and commercial features—such as sofas, upholstery, enveloping seating, or open-plan layouts. In addition to adding a pleasant and relaxed vibe to the office, these elements provide a comfortable, ergonomic work experience.
The emphasis modern professionals place on work-life balance is driving the innovation and evolution of workspace design. Consider integrating Resi-mercial concepts to create a lifestyle-driven atmosphere for your organization!
