From how people work to what to build.
How the organisation's people actually work becomes a space program with counts and areas — sized for the headcount it is heading to, and tested against the available area.

Tools that guide workplace design.
Adze Workplace turns how an organisation really works — its activities, its personality, its growth — into the space program, the interior style and the insights a design needs before the first line is drawn.

The tools
Three instruments for the research phase.
Each one replaces something studios do by hand today — spreadsheets, workshops, guesswork — and every result lands in the Pre-Design Research Report.
From who the organisation is to how it should look.
Stakeholders describe the organisation; the tool reads its personality and writes the interior style that fits it — geometry, colour, materials — with generated inspirations of the main spaces.

What the data says beyond the program.
Findings that go beyond the program: how departments really work together, where the culture gap sits between employees and management, and what remote work means for the plan.
InsightCulture gap
How a study runs
One study. Three steps.
A study runs against one client organisation at a time; both tools share it.
-
01
Set up
Create the study for the client organisation and invite the people who should respond.
-
02
Respond
People answer on their phones, in English or Arabic, in minutes. Individual answers stay private.
