The Psychology of Space: How Layout Influences Behavior at Work
Workspace design shapes how people collaborate, focus, and perform. Discover the psychology behind office layout—and how smarter design can improve productivity.
Nomad Property Group is an NYC-based tenant advisory founded in 2019 that partners with VC-backed / high-growth companies from seed stage through IPO to design and secure office environments that scale with the business. They uniquely deliver a “Class A experience in Class B buildings”—not just helping clients find and sign the right lease, but also managing construction, furniture, ongoing cleaning, and property management.
Poppin has partnered with Nomad for several years, helping their clients transform empty spaces into vibrant workplaces. When a tenant is looking for a furnished suite (whether it’s the landlord funding the furniture or the end client themselves), Billy calls Poppin.


Brokers like Nomad rely on Poppin’s responsiveness to keep deals on track. Billy notes that his dedicated rep, Maggie, moves at the same pace as he and his clients do.

Poppin’s rapid response times (replying within 24 hours and delivering in as little as one to two weeks) allow brokers to move from deal negotiation to space activation without delay.
Many landlords assume furnishing a suite is cost-prohibitive. Billy and Maggie prove otherwise. Together, they structure packages that make beautiful, move-in-ready offices achievable, often for the cost equivalent of just one or two months’ rent.

By reframing the furniture investment as an affordable leasing tool, Poppin helps brokers and landlords overcome objections and get deals done.
From sleek sit-stand workstations to collaborative lounges, Poppin’s furniture reflects the energy of the startups and growth-stage companies Nomad serves. Billy says he loves all of Poppin’s furniture, but his favorite product, hands down, is the Series L sit-stand desk. He liked them so much, he bought them for his own employees.
