We assess your current office space design and culture, and explore the possibilities of transforming it into a place of productivity and inspiration

Corporate office space planning is a critical step towards optimising your layout but also is crucial in creating a floor plate that supports your culture and vision.

Interior spatial assessment and planning is a key service delivered at the onset of your fitout, and involves assessing not only your layout and office space floor plan, but also your workplace culture, your people, and your future.

This critical information forms the basis of our office space planning and design.

Whether you’re gearing up for change, are expanding, or simply want to refresh and reinvigorate your office space, the success of your office fitout begins with a strong foundation.

Top Considerations For Office Interior Space Planning
and Design

Impactful workplace transformations start with an understanding of your space as well as what’s requested to help your team thrive

There are three key considerations we make when it comes to assessing your current workplace and planning an agile office space design for your future fitout.

Your fitout supports productive people

We make it personal and purposeful

No two workplaces operate the same, so together we assess the type of multi-purpose working environment you want to create.

This helps us plan design elements that will allow your people to work at their most inspired and productive level – no matter what that may look like.

Your spatial assessment also considers noise control, acoustics, and visual privacy.

Our solutions are built for now - and the future

Tomorrow’s office is a flexible, moveable, living organism that evolves at pace with its changing workforce

Gone are the days of permanent desks, closed doors, stark lighting, and artificial plants.

Our office space planning extends to the future needs of your business, ensuring our design solution supports your long-term vision.

There are a host of considerations to be made that can influence design decisions and the efficient running on your business, including:

  • Workforce expansion
  • Current office floor plan layout
  • Time spent in the office
  • Flexible structures
  • Productivity zones

Sleek, modern design to boost morale

People work better when they feel happier in their environment

You feel it the moment you enter a room – and your own clients can pick up on it, too.

Merit’s spatial assessment also considers how your customers will interact with your space and where they will best fit in the final design.

The way your office makes your staff feel and the perception they have of the team environment speaks volumes about your culture and professionalism as a business and your identity as a brand.

How Do You Design
an Effective Office
Space Layout?

Your office layout should be functional, accessible, and beneficial to all those working within it.

There are five key elements Merit will examine when it comes to assessing your space and designing your impressive new office.

How your team works

A deep dive into the daily operation inside your business helps us understand:

  • How collaborative or independent your work requirement is
  • How much time is spent on focus tasks
  • How much time is required for quiet tasks
  • How many team members you have and what interaction is required
  • How much time is spent in meetings

Static elements

Static elements are fixed parts of your office space that will remain in their current location, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas. We may also retain private spaces like offices or conference rooms.

Elements that will be removed or replaced

This can include walls or partitions to create a more open-plan, collaborative space.

New furniture and fixtures

In addition to the basics like workstation units we must also consider other critical assets such as printers, whiteboards, and storage space.

Fitout elements

Fitout elements include any sort of electrical requirement you need to get connected. This can include new wiring, data cabling and sound systems, as well as safety considerations like CCTV and alarm systems.
