Design Planning

Space planning is not just about organizing your workplace; it’s about unlocking the full potential of your space. By carefully considering your objectives and needs, we can help you reduce costs, encourage employee interaction, stimulate creativity, enhance productivity, support cultural change, reduce environmental impact, promote employee well-being, attract and retain staff, and support growth.

Before you get into different types of office styles, or you are swayed by the latest office design trends, you will want to establish your objectives and know what your office planning needs are. Every time you begin space planning for a commercial or corporate space, outlining your objectives is the first step of the process. Some common office and business space planning objectives include:

• Reduce operation costs
• Encourage more employee interaction
• Stimulate creativity
• Enhance productivity
• Support cultural change
• Reduce environmental impact
• Promote employee wellbeing
• Attract and retain staff
• Support growth

But before we dive into different office styles and design trends, it is crucial to understand the purpose of your space. By getting to know your intentions and preferences, we can create a space plan that aligns perfectly with your vision. This plan will include:

Zones – Isolating your space into specific zones based on purpose redefines functionality. For instance, while setting up a home office, identify the central zone where most work will be done. This will guide the inclusion of practical elements like storage features.

Navigation – Smooth navigation is crucial for any space. We ensure clear pathways and sufficient space between structures for easy movement.

Lighting – Lighting is a design element with the power to influence the ambiance of a space. Determining the optimal light sources and brightness levels will shape the space plan, whether through windows for natural light or artificial lighting options.

Hardware – Often overlooked, hardware is an essential aspect of interior design. Our team incorporates sockets, light switches, and other relevant hardware, as they are critical for the functionality of your space.

Accessibility – If your space is open to the public or will be used by individuals with disabilities, we prioritize inclusive design. We include accessibility features that enable everyone to use the space with ease.
