The Agility Desk by George and James Architects X Fisher Morrison

We love having dogs in our studio. They bring excitement, energy and companionship to the team and our visitors alike. Research (and experience!) shows that they help reduce stress whilst increasing cognitive ability and productivity in the office by triggering the release of cortisol in the human brain when we interact with them. So it really is a win on many levels. Increased interaction between pets and humans increases the hormone oxytocin (the same hormone that links a mother and her baby) which is what we know as the feel-good hormone. This overwhelming positive research suggests that dogs should not only be brought to work but that they should be integrated into the way we plan our days. As we move away from the pandemic, off of our screens and back to the office, physical and mental well-being are more important than ever. And so this is the starting point and inspiration for our Barkitecture offering. We have taken a fresh look at the humble desk – how can our dogs play, enjoy mental stimulation and be close to us as we work? We have designed the Agility Desk. A desk that facilitates interaction between a dog and their owner whilst creating stimulating exercises for the dog. This idea has Archi's paw of approval! – He can play, snooze, hunt for treats and be close to us while we work.
