 With the onset of 2025, we saw the trends shift to smart, intelligent, and environmentally responsible design. Sustainability is now reshaping how workplaces look, feel, and function, with buildings using more energy-efficient systems and greener materials. However, as the year progressed, sustainability became more than a checkbox, as one of the most important aspects of how spaces are designed and built today.

The shift has accelerated the move toward sustainable materials, smart and efficient technologies that enhance both wellbeing and design.

In 2026, we forecast the momentum would significantly grow, with sustainable designs becoming the key focus to creating workplaces that are healthier, adaptive, and truly future-ready. We are likely to see the emphasis on buildings that actively support a more climate-resilient environment.

2025 marked a pivotal year in the way organisations think about the workplace. There is a significant transition from periodic redesigns to agile ecosystems built for speed and creativity. Today, we are building resilient campuses that can adapt to new technologies, new work models, and expanding teams without disruption, especially for greenfield GCCs setting up in India.

As offices take on more strategic roles, workspace design is increasingly centred on flexibility, tech integration, and experience-driven layouts that unlock innovation and problem-solving. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect this transformation to deepen, with workplaces evolving into high-performance, modular, and intelligent environments that not only enable productivity but accelerate critical growth and long-term enterprise KPIs.
