The majority of architects feel frustrated by the constraints of data privacy when designing office spaces, a study has found: 72% of architects find data security considerations inconvenient when creating an office plan.

Research[[#_ftn1|[1]]] commissioned by Glass Films, distributors of glass films for office spaces, asked UK architects whether data privacy laws - such as GDPR - have impacted their ability to create aesthetically pleasing open-plan offices. As lockdown begins to lift and workers begin to return to offices the research suggests that architects want change, finding that 71% agree or strongly agree that factoring in privacy compromised their designs.

The importance of security in design

Architects do not view security as a top priority in the design process: when questioned they said data security was the fourth most important design consideration after accessibility, lighting and open-plan design.

However, over two thirds (69%) agreed, or strongly agreed, that a good architect always considers data security when designing office space and meeting rooms. Additionally, 68% agreed, or strongly agreed, that data security should be of high importance to the architect.

Whose data is it anyway?

The increased demand for physical data protection appears to be driven by businesses. The survey found that 70% of those questioned agreed or strongly agreed that clients increasingly ask them to consider data security when designing space.

It’s no surprise that businesses are concerned, with one in three (34%) data breaches involving internal employees. Coinciding with a significant rise in coworking spaces, open-plan offices and hotdesking, architects are being asked to deliver privacy in offices while ensuring the design remains visually appealing.

Chris Gould, Commercial Director of Glass Films said:

“Decorative films such as patterned or frosted glass are commonplace and can be a useful tool in ensuring privacy through a glass partition. However, they aren’t always effective at keeping digital data confidential, plus can make the environment feel claustrophobic, less all-inclusive and ruin the open plan feel, which we know is a top priority for architects.

“How businesses protect sensitive data has never been under so much scrutiny, but we believe that with effective internal measures, much of this risk can be mitigated through simple and unobtrusive changes to office space design, offices can be beautiful and functional. A glass film that does not affect light, or the feeling of spaciousness, but protects sensitive digital information in internal or client presentations, staff or board meetings is the ideal solution.”

Avoiding compromise between design and data protection

With minor changes to the appearance of the glass, ground-breaking Casper™ Cloaking Technology by Designtex – allows for the best of both worlds. Acting as smart shield, it obscures light emitted from digital screens only, making the display appear as a black screen to outside viewers, while helping to retain the sense of space and light that comes from glass walled-meeting rooms.
