How does office layout affect the workday?

Office layout shapes how easy it is to focus, collaborate, hold meetings and move through the workday. A good layout starts with the company’s work rather than a standard office formula.

A workstation is not the whole office

Workstations often need to be complemented by retreat rooms, meeting rooms and shared areas.

Zoning helps control sound and interruptions

Active collaboration and quiet work should be placed so they do not constantly interfere with one another.

Different needs require different layouts

Spektri’s Design Guide includes examples of a 150 m² office for around 14–20 people and a 426 m² office for around 30–40 people.

Test the layout with a real workday

Walk through a normal day: arrival, focused work, a Teams call, a team meeting, a client visit, lunch and informal interaction.
