Office Zone (6th to 20th Floor) – Flexible Workspaces

 Open-plan office spaces with modular layouts.


 Private offices & executive suites.
 Shared workspaces with break-out lounges.
 Rooftop terrace (accessible from the 20th floor) for office workers.
 Smart building technology (sensor-controlled lighting, temperature regulation)
Work flow
- the straight line principle
 papers move from one desk to another with least amount of carrying/traveling/delay
 avoid cross-cross motion and backward flow
 flow pattern can be traced from desk to desk
 straight line pattern cannot be adopted at all activities
- the executive core concept
 placing all/most of offices in core area, providing spaces along the bldg. for others
- the work station
planning considerations
1. desk facing one direction (this type of arrangement provides straightline workflow)
2. in open space area, placing desk in 2 rows allows bank type partition as dividers (requires
visual privacy)
3. desk spaced at 1.80m from front of desk to the desk behind it. (increased to 2.1m when
desk are 2 rows)
4. open office spaces, supervisor should be adjacent to receptionist/secretary
5. private offices, desk positioned where occupant could see the door
6. access to the supervisor station should not be through the work area
7. desk of employees having more visitors contact, should be placed near the entrance
8. desk of employees doing classified work should be far from entrance
Open Office Layouts
- a wide open space w/ more than 50persons, should be subdivided by either:
cabinets/shelves/railings/law bank type partitions
- These layouts often include various zones for different activities: quiet areas for focused work,
open spaces with communal tables for team projects, and comfortable lounges for informal
meetings or breaks.
- This layout can be customized with elements like plants, art, or diverse seating options to
enhance the workspace aesthetically and functionally.
Factors to consider (These factors have significant impact on work productivity and participation, as well as
the strength of a company’s identity. For example, natural light can cut down on costs, choice of color can
dictate branding, and fluid navigation can maximize space utilization.)
- Lighting
- Color
- Circulation
- Culture
- Purpose
