Confirm whether the office location requires long-term lease, short-term lease or own land. If it is a long-term lease or owned land, the company can invest more in structural renovation, design and space configuration, and operate the office as a long-term asset. Conversely, for short-term rentals, the design must be more flexible so that it can be easily dismantled and reinstalled during future moves.In addition, when looking for an address, in addition to considering transportation convenience and surrounding functions, they will also affect the convenience of future employee recruitment and business visits.

 

Office decoration process 2: Determine the office design style

We think "Office design style is the transmission of corporate culture”.Integrating company culture into space design can convey corporate philosophy invisibly.for exampleThe proportions of open spaces can convey a company's governance style. The more lively the industry, the more it needs to incorporate ingenuity into the design or break the traditional patterns and lines. In the design style, in addition to considering the company's internal culture, we should also pay attention to the practicality and comfort of the space. It is recommended that companies prepare the desired style space cases in advance so that the design team can understand the company's needs more quickly.

How to choose office design vendors?

 
When selecting an office decoration design manufacturer, you can choose from three aspects: service experience, design strength, and the details and quality of the service process. Detailed instructions below:
 

Principle 1 for selecting office design vendors: service experience

You can check the website of the design firm to see whether it has rich business customer (B2B) service experience and related office design works. It is best to use a case that matches your industry and desired style. For example, if your office also needs a showroom, you can find an interior design company with experience in both commercial office design and store design.
 
If it is a medium or large enterprise, since the requirements for space functions, interior design regulations, etc. are more complex, it is best to find successful cases that have served customers such as large enterprises and multinational companies. For manufacturers with experience, it is easier for both parties to align their communication frequency during contact.

Principle 3 for selecting office design vendors: Is the service process detailed?

Finally, it is very critical whether the manufacturer's service process is explained in detail, including requirements communication, design planning, construction management, and subsequent maintenance. Each step should be clearly explained.
 
In addition, in order to ensure that it best meets expectations, multi-party consultation for plans and quotations from different manufacturers is also a step that cannot be ignored.

1. Proper lighting and illumination to improve work comfort

 

Many research data show that indoor lighting can affect people's communication, mood and work efficiency. Therefore, office lighting is very important, but it is often ignored. Lighting design is based oncolor temperatureK quality is used as the standard. In office lighting, you can generally choose: yellow light, neutral light, and white light. Each of the three types is suitable for different atmospheres:

 

typeK valuetoneApplicable area
yellow light2700K-3000KOrange tone, warm, stable and relaxingHome living room, bedroom
neutral light3500K-4200KMixed tones, pleasant, soft and peacefulHome bathroom, office, walkway
white light5500K-6500KBlue tones, focused and brightReading area, office area, conference room

 

Neutral light and white light are mostly used in offices. If you need to think and concentrate, you can use white light; if you need simple lighting, you can use neutral light.

 

 

2. Smooth moving line design and space planning effectively improve work efficiency

Smooth office flowNot only can it reduce the occurrence of collisions, but it can also separate different work areas and improve the convenience of future offices. When planning the movement route, the relative positions of the entrances and exits, office areas, pantries, toilets and other areas must be considered to avoid over-staggering and complexity. In terms of space planning, the nature of the enterprise needs to be considered. For example, a trading company keeps a large number of documents and information, so it requires a large range of storage space; in terms of clinics, there are needs for patient consultation, so a large number of personal clinic rooms are needed.

 

Moving line design and space planning can be combined with corporate philosophy and coordinated with each other to create a perfect office environment. For example:Taiwan DentsuIn the office, colorful color blocks are used as the main tone, streamlined ceilings are used to guide movement lines to different spaces, and many corners where you can stay and discuss are planned in the overall office space. This not only meets the needs of the advertising company, but also conveys creativity Lively company image.
