This thesis aims to give a picture of how the modern office is designed today, as well as, the future trends within this field. Furthermore, the thesis’ main focus is to map out future trends to examine the optimal office solution. To achieve the purpose, interviews were carried out with; Johan Örneberg, project leader at NCC‐ Property Development, Alexander Simittchiev, architect at Metro Arkitekterns, and Anders Östling CEO at Struktur AB. Additionally, a survey was conducted using a Internet‐mediated questionnaire on employees in a modern office building. This questionnaire was sent out to 150 people and got 75 responses. The modern office is an open, light, and airy office space with common areas intended to encourage interaction and cooperation. A trend identified is the way of using the office as a tool to communicate a company’s image. The investigation also shows that employees prefer to work in private offices, as it is perceived inspiring. Moreover, the private offices should have an ergonomic design with a possibility to influence the temperature. The future office should answer to the demands from both the users and the company, and will offer services more adapted to the needs of the individual employees.
