Planning
Office Spaces: a practical guide for managers and designers
When planning a new office, designers and their clients are
faced with many challenges and questions. They have to think about practical
issues such as spatial needs, proximity relations, IT infrastructure and
furniture, but also more strategic issues such as occupancy costs,
effectiveness of the working environment, and environmental impact.
One of the most fundamental questions during the briefing
stage concerns the office concept: what kind of office design best suits the
working processes and culture of the organization? Should all employees have
their own workstation or are they going to share desks? Would enclosed offices
or a more open working environment be better? Perhaps a solution that holds the
middle is best? How many and what kind of meeting spaces do we need?
