Key features:
Moveable space-dividers This type of office design is great for interaction
High interaction/low autonomy between coworkers and office executives. It is more
appropriate for less intensive work. Some examples of
U-shaped work stations
where this type of design is used is in telemarketing,
Shared electrical units data entry, insurance claims processor, AutoCAD
operator, administrative, and secretarial.
Open Office Thumbnail Sketches
The square footage per floor is 30,240, which brings the total square footage for the project to 60,480. The
client wants a very sophisticated, contemporary, and minimalistic aesthetic. The office spaces are very busy
and require a lot of employees, so creating an atmosphere that is calming is crucial. Natural light will be a
key factor here too to improve the health of those working here for long periods of time.

Design Concept #1
This design concept will be very laid-back and
relaxing to counteract the hectic work
environment of this office space. The
aesthetic will be very light, airy, and coastal
to give a feeling of being at the beach. With
photographs of the beach, this will help tie in
the whole design and direct a central theme
for this space. The furnishings will be soft and
inviting. The color palette will be soft whites Sofa (Figure 2)
and blues. There will be asymmetrical
balance to stay with the laid-back theme. Chair (Figure 3)

Design Concept #2
This design concept will be contemporary,
sophisticated, and minimalistic. The color
scheme will feature whites and greys with
metallic accents. The furnishings will be low
in height to make the spaces feel more open
and breathable since these spaces will hold a
Sofa (Figure 7)
lot of employees. Contemporary artwork will
be placed in each room to create a rhythm
within this space. Asymmetrical balance will
help give the design a more relaxed feeling.

Bubble Diagrams
The new layout of the interior spaces for this office space is very
functional and practical. The sections are divided into categories
by which function they serve. There are two main sections of office
spaces that are joined by a corridor on the second level. There will
be acoustical wall panels provided when further noise reduction is
needed, such as the conference room and executive offices. The co-
working spaces will be filled with natural light by expansive
windows to allow for a positive work environment.
