It’s a space where people come to share a meal or have coffee together. And when you’re all together, new ideas may come to you. The discussion that started in a relaxed atmosphere may continue in the integration area or the Team Spots zone. “The heart of our company is on the 7th floor - this is where the kitchen is. It’s a place where we meet - not only to have some coffee but also to organise company events.” Magdalena Walas, Director Real Estate EMEA Region, Sabre 11 Williams, L. E., & Bargh, J. A. (2008). Experiencing physical warmth promotes interpersonal warmth. Science, 322, 606-607. INTEGRATION AREA INFORMAL MEETING ZONE Why is the kitchen the heart of your home and office? A place where you prepare and eat food has been necessary ever since people ceased to feed on plants and raw meat. We could say cooking started when a piece of raw meat accidentally fell into the fire and then turned out to be quite soft and tasty. Food has become a pleasure - an event that brought a whole family together. And that’s how the kitchen actually became a home - the whole family life centred around the hearth. Having a meal is generally associated with warmth and care. It is in the kitchen that long conversations take place, as we prepare food and holding a cup of hot tea makes us feel kindly disposed towards the world. That’s when we retrieve warm memories, which most adults usually associate with their first relationships – with their parents and the feeling of security. Meetings in the kitchen reduce social distance and encourage deeper relationships. 11 Fromthe integration zone, wemove on smoothly to the regeneration area, which still includes elements of communication.

Will you focus on building relations or teamwork today, or would you rather opt for focus work? 19 18 Contents
