With a greater focus on sustainability throughout supply chains and increased consumer awareness of eco performance from brands, it is more important than ever to support sustainability through innovation

Architect Lasse Lind from Copenhagen wants to construct buildings that are suitable for flexible use.

Lasse is convinced that while the circular economy approach in the construction industry is nothing new, it is absolutely essential.

New research from Geberit has revealed a lasting legacy of the past 18 months with many of us more aware of the importance of wellbeing than ever before. A poll of 2,000 adults across the UK found that more than half of us have made improvements to our self-care routine since the pandemic began, alongside a growth in the number of homeowners setting time aside to relax each day.

As the world continues to get noisier, building designers, specifiers and contractors have an increased responsibility to consider acoustics in their projects. However, current standards offer vague recommendations and little guidance for designers, which can lead to missed opportunities.

A panel discussion hosted by Geberit explores the future of the office post Covid The return to the office has already begun. For many, the return is surprisingly good news. They miss the office and the human connections that come with it.

What has been the true impact of 12 months of remote working on UK office staff? A recent YouGov poll by bathroom designer and manufacturer Geberit shows a workforce missing their colleagues and longing for a return to face-to-face meetings.

The trend for using wall-hung (or wall-mounted) technology to enhance bathroom appeal is becoming increasingly popular. As buyers seek out washrooms that are not only functional but inspirational, it’s never been more important for developers to add real value to new projects.

Awareness of mental and physical wellbeing has never been greater, yet many of us are spending more time than ever online – and it’s taking its toll. Here, Sophie Weston, channel marketing manager at Geberit, lifts the lid on the role that the bathroom has to play in helping us escape from our ‘always-on’ world and examines the importance of considering each of our senses in creating the perfect sanctuary

In our ever-changing world, it’s never been more important to embrace innovation in design. And, when it comes to the washroom space, technology can play a huge role in enhancing hygiene and wellbeing, as well as creating an aspirational and inspirational space. Yet, in our ‘always-on’ world it’s important that we’re mindful to choose products that improve our quality of life, rather than add to the often-overwhelming bombardment from technology.

Sustainability has become far more than a buzzword in recent years, with sustainable construction extending well beyond energy-saving design and basic regulatory compliance. An effective sustainability strategy, using environmentally-aware manufacturers, is now key for architects and specifiers to help mitigate the impact of sustainability throughout the building lifecycle.

Increasing numbers of machines, people, buildings and technology means our world is getting noisier. And this issue isn’t just limited to the outside world, with new research by Geberit finding that unwanted noise inside the home affects more than half of us – and it’s having a direct impact on our wellbeing.

As we face post-lockdown life, what might the future look like for UK bathroom design? Here, Sophie Weston, channel marketing manager at Geberit, discusses what the ‘new normal’ bathroom could be - and how existing product design and innovation can help shape the future for housebuilders and developers.

As the country embarks on post-lockdown life and, for many, a return to the office, what might the future look like for the workplace washroom?

While the fallout from Covid-19 will be felt everywhere, it’s fair to say that the impact will be particularly felt in the hotel industry. In a sector with so many touchpoints – from check-in and touch screens to the ubiquitous buffet breakfast - what might the future look like for hotels?

From flushing toilets to waste water drainage to slamming toilet seats, in close-quarter environments such as hotels, the need to minimise bathrooms sounds is particularly important.

As the European market leader for sanitary products, at Geberit we feel that is important go above and beyond simply selling our customers a product but rather strive to educate and inspire our audiences by presenting innovating, industry pioneering solutions.

Modern life is a noisy, busy and fast-paced existence from which we often find it difficult to disconnect. Today’s technology means that we are constantly connected leaving little rest bite for sensory overload.

As the trend for selling experiences and creating escapism continues – what does this mean for hotel owners and designers?

As a global leader in sanitary technology, before proposing a solution to the problem of sanitary noise, we focuses on deconstructing the issue by developing an exacting understanding of how noise travels.

Office washrooms are all too often seen for their functional benefits however it’s important to understand that these spaces are much more.
