Расположение мебели в офисе. Часть 2⠀

The location of the furniture in the office. Part 2⠀

Another factor determining the arrangement of furniture is the position of the table relative to the window ;. Firstly, it is of great importance when the main work is done using a computer monitor. In order to prevent glare on the monitor, its plane should be perpendicular to the surface of the window. Secondly, most people really value the proximity of their workplace to the window for two reasons: the emergence of a “safe flank” that no one can claim, and contact with the outside world. ⠀
⠀
👁 Psychologically, people prefer to keep the entire room in which they are in sight to quickly receive information about those entering the room. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that this can serve as an additional distraction. ⠀
⠀
Every modern workplace should have a zone designed for direct communication. These areas should be clearly expressed. Ideally, it should be possible to negotiate not only while sitting, but also standing. ⠀
⠀
🚫 The location of the workplace “facing the wall” often provokes a protest. However, this position can be very convenient with a functional (with the help of attachments) and a beautiful (with the help of an interesting finish) solution of the wall itself and with an additional view (L-shaped workplace). ⠀

Виды блоков кондиционеров

Types of air conditioning units

Indoor units come in several forms, depending on how they are installed: wall, floor, floor-to-ceiling, ceiling, window, cassette, duct. ⠀
⠀
⛓ Channel air conditioning is the only one that can supply air from the street, combining the functions of a split system and a fan. A multi-split system involves connecting several internal units to one external unit. Wall-mounted air conditioners are mounted on the wall under the ceiling and are the most common model. ⠀
⠀
⚙ The column-type split system has a height of up to 2 meters and is used to cool air in large rooms: cinemas, banquet halls, restaurants. Floor and ceiling systems can be mounted both on the ceiling and below on the wall. A cassette-type air conditioner distributes air in four directions and is mounted behind a stretch ceiling. ⠀
⠀
🗝 The choice of air conditioning is determined by the design and size of the room. When choosing a split system, you must also correctly calculate the power of the air conditioner, take care of professional installation and think about the location of the air conditioner. ⠀

Frame and collapsible partitions

Frame and collapsible (modular) partitions. ⠀
⠀
A typical office frame partition consists of metal racks lined with plasterboard sheets on both sides. The space between the sheets can be filled in different ways to give the partition some properties. They are cheaper than modular ones and comply with Russian fire safety requirements. A collapsible, or modular, partition consists of light elements and can be disassembled and moved to another place without any damage to the structures and decoration of the premises. These partitions, as a rule, have their own lining, which does not require additional decoration, and needs only periodic cleaning, like all surfaces of the room. ⠀
⠀
🏗⠀
Modular partitions are usually erected between a clean floor and a false ceiling. This means that if it is necessary to increase the sound insulation of the premises, additional measures should be taken, for example, the installation of a plasterboard partition in the ceiling space through which sound can easily spread. ⠀
⠀
🚧 One of the varieties of modular partitions are sliding, or transformable, partitions, which are designed to frequently change the layout of a room, such as meeting rooms or multi-purpose rooms. ⠀
⠀
⛓ There are many design solutions for sliding partitions. When choosing a particular partition, some of their features should be taken into account. In all cases, it is necessary to provide for the zones of module placement in the folded state. It can be just an extra width of the room or a special niche, even the ceiling space is sometimes used for this purpose. One type of partition requires a guide rail in the floor, which may be unacceptable from an aesthetic and functional point of view. There is also a solution when the partition is suspended from the upper rail, which helps maintain the continuity of the floor surface. However, such a solution is more expensive due to the appearance of complex junctions that provide the necessary level of sound insulation. ⠀

мечты о даче

Dreams of giving young people

VTsIOM conducted a survey and found out all about Russian summer residents ⠀
⠀
In the summer, 62% of Russians go to the country with different intervals, where they grow their own garden and garden, are fond of landscape design, relax and have fun. VTsIOM found this out during its new sociological survey. ⠀
⠀
💫 It turned out that once a week in the summer 20% of the citizens of our country leave the city, 21 percent lead a summer residence three or four times during the summer, and another 8 percent live in the country almost without any problems. ⠀
⠀
What do people do in the country? Mostly grown vegetables, fruits and berries - 71% .⠀
⠀
Interestingly, 10 years ago, in 2005, a similar survey revealed almost the same result: 72% .⠀
⠀
🌳 34% of Russian summer residents are keen on landscape design: the most important thing for them is the ability to create unusual flower beds, decorative ponds, MAFs (in 2005 there were fewer such summer residents, 21%) ⠀
⠀
Everyone else needs a summer house for relaxation and entertainment, among which barbecue and picnics in the lead are in the lead. 56% of Russians go to the country, mainly for this. Especially the residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg - there 81% go to the country to rest. ⠀
⠀
⠀
🏡 The survey also showed that 42% of Russians have a summer house, and another 31% dream of buying it. Among those who want to buy a summer cottage, there are many young people under 34 years old: three of the four respondents spoke about such a desire. ⠀

Office partitions

Partitions are vertical building envelopes that divide the interior of a building into rooms and communication areas, such as corridors. Partitions that bear the load from the roof or floor are called load-bearing, and those that stand freely - non-load-bearing. Partitions are the architect’s primary tool for creating a spatial office solution. They also have a tremendous impact on the functioning of the office space. ⠀
⠀
🏛 Supporting partitions. ⠀
⠀
The load-bearing partitions are constructed of bricks, blocks, or monolithic concrete using traditional methods. Their advantage is high fire safety and soundproofing ability. However, these are permanent partitions, which sometimes do not allow flexible use of space. This is especially felt when adapting an old building to an office. ⠀
⠀
🌓 That is why the principle of “shell and core” has spread in the construction of modern office buildings, the essence of which is to provide the lessee with space free from partitions between the outer wall and the inner core from the vertical communication shafts. This principle, however, imposes certain requirements on the interaction between the depth of the building, the location of vertical communications, the presence of an atrium, the nature of the external contour of the building and the step and size of the windows. Imbalance of these indicators leads to extremely ineffective, inconvenient to use office space. ⠀
⠀
In the following posts, we will talk about several types of existing office partitions and their functions. ⠀

Big glass: pros and cons

⠀
🗣 "Nothing beats the feeling when on a winter Sunday morning you are standing with a cup of coffee in your hands in front of a glass portal and looking at the smoke from the pipes of neighboring houses, sparkling snow ... and you are in shorts and with aromatic coffee" ⠀
⠀
Large-format elements in glazing are a confident architectural trend in recent decades. “Windows on the floor”, “disappearing walls” and other constructions of this kind blur the boundaries between the house and the plot, fill the room with light and give a feeling of freedom and comfort. ⠀
⠀
💼 But so far not only ordinary consumers, but even professional architects and designers have some skepticism regarding large-format designs. ⠀
Skeptics believe that large forms are always large heat losses and insufficient safety. ⠀
⠀
Everything is completely wrong - proved by customers @energo_doma that we built houses with such structures and they never regretted it. ⠀
⠀
❗ Stereotype No. 1. Panoramic glazing - always large heat loss through the double-glazed window ⠀
⠀
Now even the largest large translucent design with a large number of opening flaps is able to provide heat transfer resistance comparable to a wall. ⠀
⠀
Such a design will work stably well and for a long time. The main thing is to understand that this is not “an ordinary dull window, only a large one”. This is a separate type of translucent structures, which works in a fundamentally different way and ALWAYS requires competent design. And in such designs you can not put simple double-glazed windows. ⠀
⠀
🌪 The design of the window should be designed for wind load taking into account the wind region, the installation height of the structure and the type of terrain (urban development, open terrain), the dimensions of the opening wings and the weight of the glass units used, and the requirements for heat and noise insulation. The design should be easy and convenient to operate, if necessary, provide special requirements for protection against hacking, child safety and protection against accidental loss. ⠀
⠀
If the solution is not professional, then it will not be possible to provide a comfortable microclimate in the room.

Partition Functions

We propose to distinguish between corridor and inter-office partitions. They have different purposes, and, accordingly, a different design solution is possible. ⠀
⠀
👣 Corridor partition. ⠀
⠀
Corridor partitions separate rooms from the main communications in the building. To revitalize the space, measures such as “borrowed light” are sometimes used: glazing the upper part of the walls, using doors with glazing or glass side panels. Although these measures contribute to getting a small amount of natural light into the corridor, they do not achieve the main goal - filling the entire floor space with energy. This goal can only be achieved by using fully glazed partitions. ⠀
⠀
The importance of natural light for humans is that, unlike always the same artificial light, it is constantly changing, thereby stimulating various functions of the human body. More important is visual communication with the outside world. Most of us will prefer a window seat - whether on a plane, train or in the office. The problem of "walled up" corridors is not so much the lack of daylight, but the anonymity of space and the lack of information about the environment. ⠀
⠀
Transparent partitions have a big impact on the efficiency of the office, stimulating activity, cooperation and interaction, not to mention the design tasks that they allow to solve. ⠀
⠀
💼 Between the office partition. ⠀
⠀
This term refers to partitions separating adjacent office space. ⠀
As one of the main solutions, it is full of possibilities - a multifunctional wall. This is a system of modular partitions with holes and guides that allow you to install interchangeable elements in the right place: shelves, console for monitors, electrical outlets, etc. An electrical wiring may pass inside the partition. This solution provides the most efficient use of space, provides a person with the opportunity to create an individual atmosphere of the workplace, and, in combination with a mobile table, allows for a variety of room layouts.

Panoramic glazing: stereotypes

Panoramic glazing - stereotypes. ⠀
No. 1: Always large heat loss through the profile ⠀
⠀
🔒 No, heat loss through the profile will not be large if you choose it correctly. And it depends on the size of the structure. The design of the panoramic window can be made of various materials, as a rule, wood, aluminum and PVC profile. Each of these materials has its own characteristics that must be considered when designing ⠀
⠀
🔗 The PVC profile allows you to make the structure in a single frame: up to 8 m2 or, when using special facade profiles, a much larger area. The design must provide for temperature compensation joints.

The choice of material for panoramic glazing is made on the basis of technical and economic comparison, taking into account the design of the structure, color solutions.

The design with a width of 7.5 and a height of 2 floors will be optimally made of an aluminum profile.

Stereotype No. 2: Heating costs will increase
⠀
⠀ 📋 Properly designed panoramic windows do not significantly increase heating costs. For many of our customers to whom we installed “windows on the floor”, large-sized sliding elements, “disappearing walls” and other large-format structures, this was a pleasant surprise: ⠀
🗣 Customer:
Winter has passed and I see: HEAT RECEPTIONS from the sun far exceed losses. A room with a window for a day is so warm that it lasts all night. ⠀
🗣 Client2:
The portal costs the third year (this winter will be the third). I did not do any additional warming. No additional heating costs were noticed. ⠀
🗣 Client3:
The kitchen has two large windows, one of which is panoramic. But there are more advantages - if most of the windows are on the sunny side, this is a big saving on lighting and is very warm even in winter

Office ceilings

Ceilings in offices and their features. ⠀
⠀
Since the ceilings in modern offices are quite low, a rough texture or an overly bright color can make an overwhelming impression; hence the popularity of the smooth white ceiling. However, it is very important for such a ceiling to remain exactly smooth - to be a flat surface without spots, bumps and accidental changes in height. The white ceiling also reflects light and gives integrity to the room. ⠀
⠀
🌖 Plastered slab. ⠀
⠀
The simplest ceiling is the plastered bottom surface of the floor slab. This solution is most often used in residential buildings. We can see this type of ceiling in offices converted from living quarters, or where the designer solves a certain artistic problem. However, one should not forget at the same time that only overhead equipment can be installed on such a ceiling, which entails the appearance of electrical wiring on the surface. This solution is also not flexible at all and does not solve the problem of noise suppression. ⠀
⠀
🕸 False ceiling. ⠀
⠀
The standard office ceiling is suspended. It can be defined as a ceiling attached to a frame suspended under the ceiling, resulting in an empty space between the two surfaces. This space is used for all necessary communications and installation of fixtures. ⠀
⠀
📋 The basic requirements for suspended ceilings are::
⠀
🔸 They should be easy to install, repair, maintain and clean. ⠀
⠀
🔸 They must provide access to the ceiling space for maintenance of the suspension system, utilities and built-in fixtures. ⠀
⠀
🔸 They must provide the necessary level of sound and thermal insulation. ⠀
⠀
🔸 They must provide the necessary level of sound absorption. ⠀
⠀
🔸 They must comply with fire regulations. ⠀
⠀
🔸 Preferably, they are based on a planning module. ⠀
⠀
There are several classification methods for suspended ceilings. They can be distinguished by functional characteristics, such as, for example, illuminated and acoustic ceilings, by materials, and also by design. About it in the next post.

Безопасно ли панорамное стекло

Is panoramic glass safe?

Stereotype No. 3.⠀
Panoramic glazing is unsafe ⠀
⠀
Transparent structures that visually erase the boundaries of the house with the outside world seem vulnerable to outsiders. Like it or not, but glass is not concrete; throw a brick at him, and it crumbled. This worries many homeowners who dream of sliding glass walls. ⠀
⠀
⠀
💥 How can thieves act? I went to the fence, threw a stone, the glass fell out, come in and take what you want. And if the glass does not break, then it makes no sense to walk around and throw in all the windows. ⠀
⠀
😄 Actually, there is no reason for such concern: as our expert says, in panoramic glazing it is possible to use special glasses, which, with such an impact, can not be destroyed. ⠀
⠀
⠀
And a whole range of additional measures can strengthen protection: ⠀
⠀
- triplex ⠀
- film ⠀
- roller shutters ⠀
- alarm (with stickers on the fence that the house is guarded) ⠀
⠀
⠀
🗣 I have a hot eight and the film is standing, during installation I personally threw a brick - it normally holds. But I did this only for protection from small things, he usually walks with a hammer, and would have managed with a triplex. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Most of our customers who choose panoramic glazing consider such expensive solutions to be redundant, since in fact large-format constructions are attractive for attackers ⠀
no more than ordinary small windows. ⠀
⠀
Usually to protect large structures are limited to triplex. ⠀
⠀
⠀
⛏ In order to cut a hole in triplex 44.2, which is enough to penetrate the house, one must diligently wave the ax for about 10 minutes. During this time, the police outfit will even be able to ski on foot.
