Avoiding the Cube Farm - Effective Office Floor Plans?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday September 30, 2006 @06:20AM from the efficient-yet-non-soul-crushing-use-of-space dept.

scorp1us asks: "My company, after cramming 30 people into 3000sq feet, has a new lease on life in a 7700sq foot office (pun blatantly intended!). We are primarily a 3D animation/software company and we hope to avoid the cube farm design, but with a large open area in the middle, it is the default solution. We would like to know what effective strategies are used at other places that avoid the cube farm, and produce an inspiring, motivating work environment. This location has a split level and 12' ceilings, so it has a lot of potential."

Talk to an architect. by soricine · 2006-09-30 07:32 · Score: 4, Informative

This is a problem for an architect.

A good architect is specifically skilled in making good spaces, and will be able to come up with ideas which you hadn't thought of, and will help you to make the most of the space you have to work with.
