The room concept: the basis of your large space planning

At the beginning of every office management, the spatial concept is: Which functional areas should your office have? How many jobs should there be? It is important to consider a few aspects of the different room types.

1. The reception and waiting area

Imagine an important customer your company, the elevator is going and his first thought is: "Wow, what a reception!" That is the goal of a well -designed reception area. It should not just be a place of greeting, But also a business card that impresses in the first step in the building.

You should definitely consider these specifications, because if you are not used, you are responsible for the employer.

5. The creative oasis

Each office needs an idea forge away from the usual desk chaos. A place where employees can develop, collect and write down creative ideas. Creative oases can be set up in large space offices: sofas, seat stools and Co. invite you to sit together and present presentation areas such as whiteboards.

6. The break room

The break room is at least as important as the jobs. This should invite employees to drink coffee and lunch, but also offer a productive atmosphere. A well-designed break room can thus become the linchpin for informal exchange- and this is exactly where sparkling ideas and grandiose strategies are created. In the break room, relaxation and creative exchange of ideas take place in a pleasant environment that strengthens the feeling of community and contributes to general satisfaction in the company.
