Distribution of space according to the need of a particular section.

We know in a office we have several departments or teams assign with specific role and responsibility. Division of office area must be done by keeping each department needs in mind. From reception area to director’s cabin , each section must be allot in sufficient space according to their need. 

Right Location of each Department

In a office layout it is very important that in a office layout each department get its place according to their functioning order in a department. For example if any department has centralize function then it must be located within minimum reach of all other departments or teams. This kind of planning creates a positive impact on clients and other visitors who visited a office. Also this type of lay outing makes office more systematic and organized.

Prefer Straight corridors and pathways

While preparing layout for an office we must try to keep our corridors and pathways straight as much as we can. Too much turns and bends can slower the movement of people in a office and also create confusion. The layout should be simple and easy to understand.



Sitting Of Employees

In an office it is very important that sitting of employees must be properly planned. The sitting arrangement should be such that which keeps employees comfortable to work and also easy for the team – leader to monitor his team. There must be proper space between two seats so that any employ don’t feel disturbance due to work of adjacent employ.

Along with these some basic points there are many more things while making an office layout. Such as selection of meeting area, furniture lightning etc. Everything should be done with proper planning and keeping employees comfort in mind. Then only more productive and efficient environment can be achieve in an office.
