Betsy Vohs’ design firm, Studio BV, was a pioneer in responding to the pivot to hybrid work. This year Studio BV’s team of 16 marks its 10-year anniversary. Vohs is quick to point out that “hybrid” of 2021 was in actuality “remote,” and that now we are living in a true hybrid era of work. “People are yearning for connection,” says Vohs. “But leadership is yearning for innovation. And that innovation is really tied to time spent together,” she adds. Vohs says that one of the challenges today is designing for the future when “lease structures out there are minimum 10-year deals.... That would be like asking us to design for today in 2014.” In 2026, Studio BV has a 20,000 square foot expansion of the Evereve headquarters in Edina on the drawing boards.
