When people can see and read each other, nonverbal cues, gestures, micro-expressions… they build empathy faster.

That’s why visual access and face-to-face seating matters.

It’s not style. It’s social science.

Three ways to wind down for the weekend without crashing:

1. Close tabs on your screen and in your head
2. Walk (or roll 🛼) before you scroll
3. Reflect, don’t ruminate

Your Creative Brain will thank you Monday.

Take a walkthrough of LOC’s coffee bar. Look closer… see the textures, hear the sound bed, breathe in the pine and citrus.

All designed for mental flow.

#TeamTips // Your brain has bandwidth. Clutter, noise, and bad lighting are memory hogs. Run a 'Cognitive Audit' to identify what’s slowing your team down.

Clean space equals clear mind. 🌱

Huge thanks to Sam Anderson for the thoughtful conversation about the science behind workspace design. Our founder Christian Markow had an incredible time exploring how the spaces we design influence the way teams think, feel, and collaborate.
 
From plants and lighting to materials, scent, and music - we dove deep into the neuroscience of workspaces and how these elements can lower cortisol, sharpen focus, and even make difficult conversations easier.
 
It was truly a pleasure connecting with you and your team, Sam. Thank you for creating such a welcoming space for this discussion!

Capital One partnered with Greenhouse + @lostofficeco to innovate on the dreaded “virtual team event”.

We designed a hybrid experience that makes Offsites, All-Hands, & Training events fun and engaging online.

The experience combines variation of space + learning modes, adult learning principles, and applied neuroscience for focus.

People loved the experience, so we’re doing it for companies and teams who want a better EOY Event or Q1 Planning, where we can design+host for them, or facilitate a panel of their leaders speaking.
