We’re a passionate architectural team that works on all kinds of different buildings. It could be private homes, housing, public buildings, and more. We are particularly great at designing new commercial architecture. Businesses have different needs depending on their size, location, and speciality. Luckily, we have the ability to adjust to meet any brief. As a result, we will have no trouble satisfying your specifications.

Let’s say you have recently acquired new office space and you are preparing to move. Many questions will come up here. What you need to do is design something that functions in harmony with your business. It has to inspire your team to succeed. What we want to do is discuss some design considerations that will increase workplace productivity.

Conferences

Firstly, you will want to create designated conference rooms. Consider both your individual department sizes and the size of the whole business. This will help you decide on how many rooms you need as well as the scale of each one. It is likely you will need a selection.

There are two vital things to keep in mind here. For starters, make sure that there are enough conference rooms to go around. Consider the meeting cadence. The last thing you want is unhappy teams or clients that can’t have meetings when they want to. Use a booking system to also prevent confusion.

In addition, make sure each room has what the end users will need. Some small rooms may be fine with just a table and chairs. Larger ones may need screens, projectors, and more. Make sure every space has what it needs, extending this to cover every other part of the commercial architecture too.

Lower the noise

Excessive noise can be problematic to those who are easily distracted. What you must do is designate particular office areas for private work and social interactions. With social areas, consider recreational and team break rooms. Other work zones can include private wellness rooms and individual pods. It will mean you have spaces where people can work comfortably in different situations.

Showcasing your team

This is something else you will want to consider. Show their accomplishments in high-traffic locations. It can remind your team of their accomplishments and inspire them to go further. In addition, it can be a wonderful thing for guests to see, especially if they are prospective clients.

Create a wellness area

Design a particular part of your office that is all about well-being and health. The easiest approach here would be to stock the break area with a collection of healthy beverages and snacks. If there is office space you are not using, why not convert it into a dedicated employee wellness room? This is somewhere that needs to be quiet and free of technology. Employees can de-stress, unwind, and recharge here. Provide space to do yoga, mediate, and exercise.
