Как построить офис

How to build an office?

The need for new office space is the need of any growing company. Sometimes a new office is also required during a decline in activity. When choosing an office space, the question always arises of the cost of office space, decoration and furnishings. In some cases, it’s more profitable to build a new office than to rent a finished building. ⠀


📋 Instruction: ⠀

1⃣ Evaluate your abilities when planning to move to a new office. Most companies choose to rent a finished office. In large cities, the highest demand is for luxury office space within the business part of the city. This is primarily due to the need to be located in close proximity to customers. ⠀

2⃣ If you expect to reduce costs, consider building an office outside the business area. One option is to divide the staff into two parts, one of which is located in the central office, and the second part operates in the so-called back office, located in a less prestigious area of the city. ⠀
3⃣ When choosing a location for the office location, combine the required parameters of price, quality and placement. ⠀


4⃣ After the construction work, pay special attention to the decoration of the room. A significant proportion of the cost of the complex of finishing works is occupied by engineering work on the installation of ventilation systems and the installation of power supply systems. When calculating costs, consider the cost of installing fire extinguishing systems that require a special license. ⠀
5⃣ Prepare a design project in advance, including a measurement drawing, an installation plan, a plan for arranging furniture and office equipment. A detailed study of such solutions should be entrusted to specialists who can use 3D-visualization and additional specifications depending on the complexity of the planned interior. ⠀
6⃣ Consider the possibility of using in your new office modular stationary or mobile systems that allow you to distinguish between working areas of staff. One possible solution is to use office partitions. ⠀

Как организовать офис

How to organize an office?

The work of your entire company will depend on how you organize the office space. Sometimes it seems that it doesn’t matter at all who is sitting where and what height of the partition between workstations. However, most often this is not so. Office is like home: every little thing matters. ⠀

📋 Instruction: ⠀

1⃣ On the one hand, the office should be cozy for those who work in it. But do not forget that the office is still not a living room. Comfort should not exclude mobility and simplicity, because companies are not so rarely moved. Fanciful details and bulky furniture will only make it difficult for you to move. ⠀

2⃣ Work in human life takes at least a third of the time. Therefore, it is important that the office maintains ideal physical conditions for work: fresh air, comfortable temperature, adequate lighting. ⠀



3⃣ The way you organize the distribution of cabinets between employees, which space will be reserved for the meeting room, depends primarily on your business. However, there are a few general rules for any office. ⠀

Reception is good to place directly opposite the door. He will be, as it were, the “face” of the office for clients and job seekers. To the left or right of the reception you can organize a meeting room so as not to lead the client or the applicant through the entire office for negotiations and not interfere with other employees. ⠀



4⃣ In the same way, to the left or right of the reception (depending on where you have a meeting room) it is worth installing a door leading to the office room itself. It can, at your request, be divided into many small offices or remain open space with small partitions between workstations. Ими



5⃣ In the office it’s good to have a small kitchen in which there will be a cooler, a coffee maker and a microwave. Quite a few prefer to dine at the office, bringing food from home. The optimal number of bathrooms depends on the number of staff. On average, seven people should have one bathroom.

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. ⠀

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.

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.

Напольные покрытия для офиса

Office flooring

Floor coverings for office. Part 1⠀

Of all the surfaces in any building, the floor undergoes the greatest wear. We walk on the floor, we put furniture and equipment on the floor, drop things on the floor and spill liquids. The quality of the flooring should be evaluated taking into account its use for a long time. ⠀

🖇 Floor coverings for the office can be divided into two types - hard and soft. Hard coatings include stone, parquet and linoleum. To soft - carpet and carpet tiles. Since noise control is a very important task for office premises, carpet coverings are most widely used. ⠀

🔶 Stone materials ⠀

🔸 marble office floors офиса

Despite the fact that stone materials provide architects and designers with ample opportunities to create interesting solutions, their field of application in offices is limited. They are found in rooms such as lobbies, reception areas, corridors and toilets. Although the stone does not allow moisture and is easy to clean, its surface requires special care, as it can be scratched and also reacts to various substances, such as salt. ⠀

🔸 Parquet ⠀

This type of coating is mainly used in residential buildings. Parquet is more durable than linoleum or carpet, it has high aesthetic, hygienic, heat and sound insulation properties. However, parquet is not recommended for office use for two reasons. ⠀

Firstly, the parquet sound absorption coefficient is insufficient for the office work areas. Secondly, although wood as a material is durable, the surface of the parquet must be periodically sanded and varnished. Otherwise, in particularly busy places, parquet will quickly lose its appeal. These works cannot be carried out without disrupting the normal functioning of the office. Therefore, parquet can be found either in offices converted from residential premises, or in particularly prestigious areas where it is necessary to impress, and at the same time, the load on the floor is small. ⠀

Входная зона

Entrance Zone Design

When designing the company's entrance zone, the following issues must be resolved: вопросы
🔸 Does the company have a distinct personality?
🔸 How strongly should this personality and corporate culture be expressed in spatial forms?
🔸 Is the company turned outward or, rather, inward, how many visitors are there?

When solving these representative tasks, one should not forget about the convenience of people working or visiting this zone. Usually there is a waiting area, a wardrobe for employees and for customers. A useful addition is an information desk equipped with a computer that provides customers with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the structure and activities of the company. ⠀

💡 The latest research shows that the proportion of rooms and areas for meetings and negotiations is constantly growing, and their area may increase by 2005 to 30% of the total office area. In Europe, ordinary employees spend approximately 25%, mid-level managers 50%, and top-level managers even 75% of the working time in negotiations and seminars. This is due to the importance of the exchange of information for decision-making. Communication and training become the most important types of office activities and, accordingly, require well-thought-out planning and technical solutions. ⠀

🎚 Traditional meeting rooms are complemented by multi-functional transformable rooms for conferences, seminars and trainings. All these rooms are equipped with equipment such as slide and overhead projectors, flip charts and interactive whiteboards, multimedia projectors, plasma panels, graphic walls, audio systems and video conferencing facilities. ⠀

👥 An interesting fact is that 80% of all innovations in offices are aimed at ensuring direct communication between people. For this, you can use not only meeting rooms, but also individual islands located next to workplaces. To communicate more dynamically, high tables are used, at which the interlocutors talk while standing.
