Planning a new office yourself?
Office planning - What you should know
Office planning is an essential step in creating an efficient and comfortable working environment. Before you begin planning your office furnishings, you should carefully analyze your specific needs. In the past, office planning was simpler because the number of employees directly determined the number of workstations. However, in current office planning concepts, needs analysis is more complex and should not be underestimated.
1. Office planning: Divide rooms according to their intended use
Planning office space usually begins with a space program in which users and planners jointly define where certain functions should be placed in the building. The main priority is the number of workstations. Special areas such as reception, common areas, and quiet rooms are also crucial. Efficient work is only possible when the structure of the workstations corresponds to the work processes. The more the workstation is individually tailored to the employees, the more effective the results will be.
1.1 Reception and waiting area for clients
The reception area is representative and shapes the company’s first impression. An inviting, bright room should ideally be positioned near the entrance. It is important to determine whether this area will serve as a permanent or temporary workstation so that space requirements can be planned accordingly.
1.2 Planning effective workstations
Workstations are the heart of any company and offer many design options - from private offices and shared offices to open-plan offices. A functional design should be based on individual work processes. It is important to take legal requirements such as minimum floor space and room sizes into account. In addition, workstations should be planned parallel to the window to avoid glare.
1.2.1 Special features of open-plan offices
Open space offices, which are segmented into different areas, promote a productive working environment. Single or double workstations can be more advantageous for tasks requiring concentration. When planning open-plan offices, it is important to protect employees’ privacy and involve them in the planning process to reduce fears about change. Specific areas for communication and meetings are also necessary.
1.3 Conference room / meeting and retreat areas
Thanks to digital progress, meetings are often possible directly at the workstation, but they can also be disruptive. Therefore, special rooms for longer phone calls, video conferences, or internal meetings are necessary. These rooms should be defined in advance and equipped optimally in terms of technology and furnishings. Options include blackout solutions, multifunctional furniture, and spatial partitions.
1.3.1 Idea lab / creative zone
A creative zone gives employees space to develop creative ideas without interruption. These rooms are furnished flexibly to encourage collaboration. Individual tables can be combined for group work and walls can be used as presentation surfaces. Furniture and technology should be mobile and adaptable.
1.4 Include home office in office planning
The coronavirus pandemic has increased the importance of home offices. As with office workstations, home offices should also have sufficiently large work surfaces and an ergonomic office chair. We are increasingly incorporating home office workstations into our concepts.
1.5 Executive office
There are no legal requirements for executive offices regarding room sizes, Colors or workplace layouts. This allows complete freedom in planning and furnishing. We are happy to provide advice and offer inspiration for your design ideas in our showroom.
1.6 Break room & kitchen
Break areas should provide a pleasant environment in which employees can recharge. We design more than just functional break rooms and create spaces for communication and relaxation. Furnishings, color scheme, lighting, and the inclusion of plants are all crucial.
1.7 Documents & archiving
Archives should typically be located in less preferred areas of the building. It is important to decide in advance how much space is required for data storage, as electronic data processing often reduces this need.
1.8 Room sizes / room heights
Taking room size and height into account is crucial. Recommended room sizes are 8–10 m² pro per workstation in cellular offices and 12–15 m² in open-plan offices. Regulations regarding room height and the width of access routes to the workstation must also be observed.
2. Ergonomics and well-being factors
Careful planning should include considerations of lighting, acoustics, and infrastructure. Lighting should be at least 500 lux, and luminaires should emit both direct and indirect light. Acoustic protection is important for controlling noise levels and reducing reverberation time. Ventilation, heating, and electrification should also be considered.
2.1 Color design
Colors in the office influence employees' mood and performance. Red has a stimulating and motivating effect, while blue promotes harmony and concentration. Matte tones are advisable to prevent glare.
2.2 Acoustic protection
Acoustic protection promotes concentration and productivity by reducing distractions and noise. It also protects against the unintended sharing of confidential information and prevents health impairments caused by noise. Well-conceived acoustic protection should be a priority in any office concept.
2.3 Office chairs
An optimal office chair is characterized by ergonomic features such as adjustable seat height, backrest, armrests, and seat depth. An adjustable lumbar support and casters suited to the floor type are also important. Choosing the right office chair is crucial for employees' back health and motivation.
2.4 Desks
Desks should have a minimum size of 1.28 square meters, except for purely screen-based workstations. The dimensions of the desk should be tailored to the size and placement of the equipment. Height-adjustable desks and a glare-free surface are recommended.
3. Room-in-room systems
Room-in-room systems offer flexible solutions for dynamically designing office spaces. These systems make it possible to provide mobile and modular units that can be easily assembled and dismantled. They help reduce noise levels and promote employees' concentration and communication.
4. Cabinets
Various storage solutions are available for office supplies and documents, including cabinet models in different widths and depths. The interior shelves can be made of wood or steel, with steel plinths. Additional options such as locks for sensitive documents can be integrated.
