Office Layouts for Six Ways of Working

Six floors and six ways of working — each generated from an office type and a floor size, the way a small business plans a move.

How to Design an Office Floor Plan

Three inputs stand in for the first meeting with a space planner.

Step 01

Choose How Your Team Works

Private Office, Open Plan Office, Cubicle Layout, Hybrid Office, Coworking Space or Executive Suite — each one changes the ratio of desks to enclosed rooms.

Step 02

Add Shared Rooms and Floor Size

Tick Conference Room or Break Room, then enter the suite's length and width in feet or meters, or the rentable square footage from the listing.

Step 03

Generate, Then Take It to 3D

Generate up to four plans, keep the one that fits, and open it in Floor Plan to 3D from the result so the team can picture the space before move-in.

Built for Leases, Moves and Headcounts

Built for the questions a lease or a move actually raises: how many desks, how many rooms, and where people walk.

Coworking and cubicle office layouts compared side by side

Six Ways of Working, Not One Generic Office

A coworking floor needs phone booths and a lounge; a cubicle floor needs straight aisles. Each office type starts from the layout that way of working needs.

Compare Office Types
Office layout for a 3,000 square foot suite with desks counted per team

Headcount Checked Against Floor Size

Planners often budget 150–250 sq ft per person, so a 3,000 sq ft suite suits roughly 12 to 20 people. Enter your real size in the office floor plan creator and count the desks you get.

Check Your Headcount

Meeting and Break Rooms Placed With the Desks

Conference and break rooms are laid out together with the workstations, so you can spot a meeting room that ends up next to the kitchen instead of the quiet zone.

Add Shared Rooms

Medical, Dental and Specialist Offices

Exam rooms, a sterilisation area or a server room aren't on the preset list, so describe them in the Custom tab and attach up to eight reference photos.

An Office Layout Everyone Can Picture

Technical drawings are easy for facilities and hard for everyone else, so send the result to Floor Plan to 3D for an isometric view to share at the all-hands meeting.

For Small Business Owners Signing a Lease

Check whether a 2,400 sq ft suite fits twelve desks and a meeting room before the broker's deadline, using the office floor plan creator on the listing's own dimensions.

For Office Managers Running a Move

Draft seating by team for moving day, so the movers, IT and facilities all work from the same drawing.
