Spatial planning and open plan design is proving a popular trend with modern commercial office interiors. If planned well, an open plan office interior can maximise innovation, collaboration, creativity and productivity.
As a guide, here are our top 5 benefits of open plan office interiors.
- Creativity and Teamwork
In open plan layouts, tables and lounge seating can be used to create informal meeting and collaboration areas where colleagues can participate in positive engagements and intuitive conversations, encouraging creative thinking and cross-functional teamwork.
- Faster learning
With the primary goal of open plan commercial office designs being to inspire collaboration and communication, faster learning can be facilitated as new employees are nearer to their fellow colleagues, rather than being disconnected or divided by walls.
- Increased productivity
Open workspaces encourage colleagues to work together and can relieve hierarchal concerns as management staff become more approachable. With co-workers alongside each other, effective creative collaboration and teamwork is fostered, increasing productivity.
- Budget
A wall-less set up can make commercial office fitouts more cost effective, flexible and make better use of ‘dead space’, meaning cheaper running costs.
- Capacity to increase
An appeal to this type of office design is its flexibility and expansion options as spaces can be easily reconfigured, depending on organisational requirements. Potentially there is room for more employees as an organisation grows.
