You’re moving to a new office and have an empty shell to work with. You’re wondering how best to organise the work environment for maximum productivity, practicality and employee job satisfaction? Office space planning can help you make the most of every space, and works for companies large and small.
Review your current space use: what works well and what could be improved?
Sometimes it can be difficult to picture how best to use your space. You may rearrange the desks to try a variety of configurations – but that takes time and doesn’t guarantee that you’ll find a better fit. Space planning goes much further than how you organise your furniture. It’s about identifying the best purpose for each room and applying fixtures, floors and furniture to create a sleek, seamless office.
What will your space planner consider?
There are so many benefits to hiring an office space planner. They can see the potential of your space and help you make the most of it. They should consider your business at every stage.
It’s a creative process that should also take into consideration the basics, including identifying areas that are busier than others and who will be using each space.
- How do departments, functions and teams work together?
- Identify best use of natural light.
- Consider the shape and size of spaces to accommodate requirements.
- Evaluate IT infrastructure.
- Analyse footfall and time spent in each area.
- Review open-plan vs separate rooms.
- Review informal vs formal spaces.
They can factor in wellbeing, sustainability, brand identity and company culture into the end design, too. This ensures your office has a unique, distinctive identity that will leave a good impression with employees, clients and visitors alike.
