In response to the growing trend of remote working, this project speculates a future where technology remains the main source of workgroup communication for knowledge workers: employees put on AR glasses daily that turn their home into a virtual office. By leveraging the architectural functionality and spatial interaction, the digital experience can flow more naturally into employees’ routines. This project presents a plausible solution to how digital experience can help build a company's culture in a virtual setting and challenges the conventional workplace norms in a domestic space. I wish to open up the discussion of how technologies change workgroup relationships and what unconventional workplace norms can evolve from the new situation.
