Top Office Layouts

Traditional Office

Typically, a combination of offices, open space, cubicles, and meeting rooms.  This will have offices for executives, managers, and senior positions.  One of the most popular office layouts and can be modified to fit a company’s needs.  The amount of offices and meeting rooms makes this one of the more expensive and less efficient layouts. 

Pros: Privacy and Confidentiality, Facilitate Supervision, Increase Productivity, Recruiting

Cons: Higher Cost

Cube City

90% to 100% of employees are in a cubicle which can vary in size. Typically, senior staff will have offices. Fosters focus and eliminates distractions.  Programmers, analyst, accounting, and technical staff.  Partition height can of 7’ can give more privacy but a lower partition of 54” will allow for more light and more collaboration but less privacy.

Pros: Semi-Private, Increase Productivity

Cons: Inter-departmental Collaboration, Facilitates Supervision, Operational Efficiencies, Space Efficiencies

Cellular Office

Most employees have offices with a few desks for administrative positions.  Companies that require confidentiality such as law firms and investment firms.  This is most expensive option because of the number of offices.  Not recommended for small office areas.

Pros:  Privacy and Confidentiality, Employee Morale, Recruiting, Increase Productivity

Cons: Inter-departmental Collaboration, Facilitates Supervision, Operational Efficiencies, Higher Cost

Open Office or Newsroom

No partitions that separate each desk and the space can be easily reconfigured into various layouts.  Very efficient space and popular with tech start-ups, creative firms, and the millennial work force. 

Pros: Facilitates Supervision, Efficient Space, Inter-departmental Collaboration, Low Cost

Cons: No Privacy, Decrease Productivity From Distractions, Recruiting

Cluster or Team-Oriented

Is a philosophy of having each department or team all in the same area versus having the senior management or executive officers together.  The actual layout will be adjusted to the teams needs and brings the best collaboration for the team but can also make them become a “silo”.  Less meetings rooms are needed since everyone is in the same area.

Pros: Facilitates Supervision, Increase Employee Morale, Increase Productivity, Efficient Space, Low Cost

Cons: Inter-departmental Collaboration

Combination

Customizable for a hybrid schedule or diverse teams.  The office design can mix the different types of styles above.  By design, a desk can be used on a first come first serve basis or shared with employees with offsetting schedules.  The space can become efficient and reduce the amount of space needed if planned correctly.

Pros: Facilitates Supervision, Efficient Space, Inter-departmental Collaboration, Increase Employee Morale, Increase Employee Productivity

Cons: Higher Cost, Inter-departmental Collaboration Risk, Decrease Productivity From Distractions
