With the introduction and normalization of hybrid work comes the need for more flexible commercial design. Therefore, commercial design elements should be adaptable to ever-changing environments. Frameworks Manufacturing explains how you can achieve adaptable design for flexible work:

Modular design

Adaptable office spaces use modular design. Modular design uses customizable elements that can be easily installed, disassembled, and changed to fit your space and needs.

Modular elements are superior to fixed elements because they support quick, cost-effective renovations. As businesses make the switch to hybrid work, they can easily renovate and open their space to support more effective collaboration when occupants are in-office. The ability to adapt one’s space for impromptu meetings, independent work, and open floor plans is the main reason modular design is the preferred choice among architects and interior designers.

From desks and chairs to partitions and more, there are modular options for most office furniture—interior aluminum framing systems included!

Modular framing systems

Frameworks Manufacturing offers a wide range of modular framing solutions that give you the flexibility to create distinctive interiors. For example, our Type II framing system is a modular system that was developed for greater versatility and strength, and easier installation. It features snap-on trim that conceals the fasteners and provides clean design lines. Type II framing is installed after the walls are finished and painted, which exempts it from critical path scheduling and makes it the ideal choice for design build or fast-track fit-out projects.

Are you looking for high-quality, pre-finished aluminum frames for your interior commercial applications? Frameworks Manufacturing specializes in sleek, modern designs with concealed fastenings, rich colors, and recessed glazing pockets to add an architecturally-pleasing design aesthetic to any project.
