1. Office management: Submit space according to the purpose
The planning of office space usually begins with a space program in which users and planners determine where certain functions are to be placed in the building. The main priority is the number of jobs. Special areas such as reception, community zones and relaxation rooms are also crucial. Efficient work is only possible if the structure of the workplaces corresponds to the work processes. The more the workplace is tailored to the employees, the more effective the results.
1.1 Reception and waiting area for customers
The reception area is representative and shapes the first impression of the company. An inviting, bright room should ideally be positioned at the entrance. It is important whether this area serves as a permanent or temporary workplace in order to plan the space requirement accordingly.
1.2 Planning of effective jobs
Jobs are the heart of every company and offer many design options - from individual offices to group offices to open -plan offices. A functional design should be based on the individual work processes. It is important to consider legal requirements such as minimum work areas and room sizes. In addition, workplaces should be planned in parallel to the window to avoid glare.
1.2.1 Special features of open -plan offices
Open Space offices that are segmented in different areas promote a productive work environment. Individual or double workstations can be more advantageous for concentrated tasks. When planning open -plan offices, it is important to maintain the privacy of the employees and to include them in the planning process in order to reduce fears from changes. Specific areas for communication and meetings are also necessary.
1.3 Conference room / meeting and retreat locations
Thanks to digital progress, meetings are often possible directly at the workplace, but can interfere. Therefore, special rooms are necessary for longer phone calls, video conferences or internal meetings. These rooms should be defined in advance and optimally equipped technically and in terms of furnishing technology. Possibilities include darkening options, multifunctional furniture and spatial cuts.
1.3.1 Idea laboratory / creative zone
A creative zone offers space to develop creative ideas undisturbed. These rooms are flexibly furnished to promote cooperation. Individual tables can be put together for group work and walls can be used as presentation areas. The furniture and technology should be mobile and adaptable.
1.4 Include the home office in office management
Corona pandemic has reinforced the importance of the home office. As with office workstations, a sufficiently large work surface and an ergonomic office chair should also be taken into account in the home office. We are increasingly planning home office workstations into our concepts.
1.5 chief room
There are no legal requirements for boss rooms regarding room sizes, colors or workplace arrangements. This enables complete freedom in planning and furnishing. We are available to advise and offer inspiration for your design ideas in our showroom.
1.6 break room & kitchen
Break zones should offer a pleasant environment in which employees can collect new energy. We design more than just functional break rooms and create areas for communication and relaxation. The furniture, coloring, lighting and the inclusion of plants are crucial.
1.7 Documents & Archiving
Archives should typically be accommodated in less preferred places in the building. It is important to decide in advance how much space is required for data storage, as electronic data processing is often reduced.
1.8 room sizes / room heights
The consideration of space size and height is crucial. Recommended room sizes are 8–10 m² per workplace in small room offices and 12–15 m² in open -plan offices. Provisions regarding room heights and width of access roads to the workplace must also be observed.
2 ergonomics and feel -good factors
Careful planning should include considerations for lighting, acoustics and infrastructure. The lighting should be at least 500 lux and lights should shine both directly and indirectly. Acoustic protection is important to control the noise level and to reduce the reverberation time. Ventilation, heating and electrification should also be taken into account.
2.1 Color design
Colors in the office influence the mood and performance of the employees. 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 from unwanted passing on confidential information and prevents health impairments through noise. A well thought -out acoustic protection should be a priority in every office concept.
2.3 Office chairs
An optimal office chair is characterized by ergonomic properties such as customizable seat height, backrest, armrests and depth of seats. An adjustable lordosis support and soil type-specific roles are also important. The selection of the office chair is crucial for the back health and motivation of the employees.
2.4 desks
Desks should have a minimum size of 1.28 square meters, except for pure screens. The dimensions of the table should be tailored to the size and placement of the devices. Height -adjustable tables and a reflection -free surface are recommended.
3 room-in-room systems
Space-in-room systems offer flexible solutions to make office space dynamically. These systems make it possible to provide mobile and modular units that can be easily assembled and dismantled. They help reduce the noise level and to promote the concentration and communication of employees.
4 cupboards
Various storage solutions are available for office items and documents, including cabinet models with different widths and depths. The inner floors can be made of wood or steel, with steel socks. Additional options such as locks for sensitive documents can be integrated.
