Space planning is a big undertaking, as there are several factors to consider when designing your office; physical restrictions of the space, accessibility, the diversity of your team and team roles, lighting, and sound pollution. In fact, unwanted noise is almost universally reported by employees as the number one deterrent to productivity and satisfaction at work. One way to combat audible distractions is to consider zoning out your office. Keep those that spend ample time making phone calls farthest from those whose role require the most amount of concentration or attention to detail. For instance, keep some distance between your customer support team and your programmers or engineers. Space planning is all about solving problems before they arise, and we have plenty of helpful professionals and tools to help you do so. - See more at: http://www.interiorconcepts.com/office-design-ideas/office-design-ideas/office-layouts/#sthash.THqWuyzb.dpuf
