Office Design Steps
STEP FOUR: SPACE UTILIZATION
Whether you select free-standing furniture or a built-in approach, we will develop a plan drawing of your existing room to optimize the utilization of your space, taking into consideration the following goals:
A. Get the most benefit from your windows: Enjoy the view your windows afford. Take advantage of natural lighting from your windows, without blocking window light. For examples of good window utilization, view the Morton Office.
B. Optimize traffic flow into the room and through the room. What other functions does the room have? Will you have an easy chair for reading (e.g., by the window?) Will you want space for chairs facing your desk, to accommodate people visiting you in your office?
C. Optimize access to the desk ingress and egress. You don’t want to feel like you have been squeezed into your work space with a shoe horn. For a good example the Eppley Office.
D. When seated at your desk, face the door, if possible.
