Virtual Reality Workplace Design for Own Desk
Our project for Own Desk required a visionary workspace that could be precisely planned and approved before a single piece of furniture was ordered. Partnering with our visual design studio, Yulio, we transformed their initial concepts into a fully immersive, photorealistic virtual tour. This allowed the Own Desk team to walk through their future office, validating design choices and ensuring the final build perfectly matched their ambitious vision.
By leveraging cutting-edge virtual reality technology from the outset, we eliminated guesswork and created a collaborative, confident design process. The result was a seamless translation of the virtual design into a physical workspace that energizes the Own Desk team and perfectly supports their workflow.
The Challenge
Own Desk had a clear vision for their new office but needed to overcome the inherent risks of traditional design planning. Their key challenges were:
- Visualizing the Final Result: Moving beyond 2D floor plans to truly understand the scale, lighting, and feel of the proposed space.
- Collaborative Decision-Making: Ensuring all stakeholders, including non-designers, can easily provide informed feedback on the design.
- Avoiding Costly Changes: Identifying and resolving potential design issues in the planning phase, not during construction or installation.
- Building Confidence: Gaining absolute certainty that the final furnished environment would meet their functional and aesthetic expectations.
COREoi’s Solution
1. Immersive Virtual Reality Walkthroughs
- High-Resolution Renderings: Created photorealistic visuals of key areas, from reception to collaborative zones, allowing the Own Desk team to evaluate materials, colors, and lighting in detail.
- Interactive Fly-Throughs: Developed a navigable virtual model of the entire office, enabling stakeholders to “walk” the space and experience the flow and functionality firsthand.
- Real-Time Iteration: Used Yulio’s platform to make real-time adjustments to furniture layouts and finishes based on immediate client feedback during review sessions.
2. Data-Driven Design Confirmation
- Furniture Validation: Virtually placed exact furniture models—including ergonomic chairs, workstations, and lounge pieces—to confirm scale, proportion, and comfort.
- Spatial Planning Accuracy: Verified that traffic patterns, collaborative areas, and private focus rooms functioned as intended before finalizing the space plan.
- Brand Alignment Check: Allowed the client to see how their brand identity was integrated throughout the physical environment, ensuring a cohesive experience.
3. A Collaborative and Transparent Process
- Stakeholder Alignment: The Yulio virtual tour served as a single source of truth, aligning executives, management, and employees on the shared vision.
- Informed Sign-Off: Own Desk was able to approve the design with complete confidence, knowing exactly what they were investing in.
