Initial ideas 3 & 4





After looking at my first two ideas I want to really utilise the space, not only fitting in more employees and zones but creating more of a flow. I like the way that idea three incorporates relaxing areas, as not everybody works to their highest productivity at a desk. I feel like it includes something for everyone, except individual working. I think with all these group areas it could be a little noisy, and maybe productivity would not be as high as if individual working areas were included. This is what I did for my final idea. In the bottom left corner is an individual working station. One large circular desk, approximately two metres diameter, has been split into four with dividing walls, made from cork board, allowing the employee to display their notes and any other necessities. After wanting more flow, for these two ideas I included pathways. They will only be painted on the ground, or made from lino set in the floor, so they are not rigid guidelines. They can obviously be strayed from but it gives a little more excitement to the journey the employee takes to their desired area. These pathways will be painted as yellow brick roads, to bring something so well known into the office space, and again take away some of the importance and significance of the job.
