How Office Amenities and Food Trends Relate

Hempel: “Often, there is a tendency to try to do too much with a project, which leaves improvements feeling like they have been spread too thin. We are constantly reinforcing the concept of picking your moment and doing it really well.”

IRVINE, CA—There is a direct connection between health and wellness in the workplace and the foodie and farm-to-table trends in grocery and restaurant choices, LPA Inc.’s associate principal/design director Keith Hempel tells GlobeSt.com. Much like the foodie frenzy, with a heightened awareness of great food, quality ingredients and farm-to-table concepts, developers and owners of existing office spaces are feeling the demand for an increased variety of options and amenities to attract tenants.

LPA has worked on several projects in Orange County that have been repositioned or “reimagined,” with building owners achieving increased tenant-occupancy results and a better overall tenant experience.
