In this episode of Spatial Experience Design, host Søren Vasø talks with Victor Souza, Head of Product at iotspot, about how real-time data is reshaping office design. They unpack why most offices sit at just 30% occupancy, how hybrid work has changed what employees need from the workplace, and the surprising things that drive people back (or keep them away). From meeting room congestion to air quality and smart nudges like “commute-worthiness” notifications, this conversation offers practical insights for HR teams, workplace strategists, and real estate decision-makers alike.

Key Topics:

• Hidden costs of underused real estate
• Hybrid work trends and occupancy behavior
• Designing collaborative environments with real-time data
