Map the working day
Write down when your team needs focus, when it collaborates and how guests arrive. Separate scheduled meetings from short questions that arise during work.
Define the essential spaces
Begin with reception, a team space, a meeting room and a quiet area. Add rooms when they have a clear purpose and someone responsible for them.
Agree on presence norms
Agree on the meaning of presence states and when it is appropriate to interrupt. Do not make staying in a space a test of work; evaluate outcomes and collaboration.
Pilot and review
Choose a small team and a trial period. Gather feedback on navigation, noise and privacy, then revise the layout before expanding.
