Work with sightlines, not just walls<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that people can maintain visual contact without disturbing each other. Glass, half-height cabinets, or plants work better than complete enclosure. This keeps the space open but not restless.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Provide power where work is done<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing is as disruptive as a place that is &#8220;well-conceived&#8221; but has no power. Think ahead about <strong>charging, docking, and cable management<\/strong>, including in lounge and consultation areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Dare to cut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many offices drag along functions that are no longer used: archives that are too large, oversized meeting rooms, empty corners. <strong>Dare to cut<\/strong>. Giving space back is liberating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Think in zones, not in square meters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every spot needs to do the same thing. By creating <strong>clear<\/strong> <strong>zones<\/strong> for focus, consultation, and relaxation, your office gains more structure without having to become larger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Test first, decide later<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Big changes? <strong>Try them out first<\/strong>. A temporary setup, a pilot zone, or a new layout for one team quickly provides insight into what works. What feels good can then be implemented structurally.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-962a2dfa wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60-30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60-30)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inspiration for your office design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to gain <strong>inspiration for office design<\/strong>?

Choose <strong>compact and multifunctional furniture<\/strong> that is easy to move.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place workstations along the walls as much as possible and keep the <strong>center clear for movement<\/strong>. Use vertical space for storage instead of extra cabinets on the floor.
