This seems to indicate that if concepts of remote working are to be realized successfully, it is important to develop an integrative approach that relates spatial issues to work processes, functions of IT tools, and organizational structures. The case studies provide insight into how different types of organizations, from small to global, manage to integrate spatial, technical and organizational issues into a holistic concept. As practised at SUN Microsystems, the concept of loosely-coupled settings involves the use for working purposes of different places (locations in different buildings, such as headquarter, satellite office, home office) and spaces (with open or enclosed layout).
The aircraft or train seat pushes the traveller into close proximity with others. While some welcome the chance to interact with strangers, many retreat by means of small rituals, creating a nest within the allowed boundaries that provides privacy and a degree of familiarity. The selection of the favoured seat, the setting out of hand luggage in a particular way, the immediate donning of headphones to limit conversation are all reflections of this. The hotel becomes home temporarily and each traveller uses the hotel in different ways to meet this requirement.

Previously, office work was accommodated in buildings derived from palaces, industrial buildings (in particular mills) or collegiate forms.
