Open work space layouts
• An open office is a workspace layout devoid of partitions, cubicles, or other means of separating people. It is
seen as an answer to issues of communication and hierarchy by encouraging a collaborative workflow on
equal ground; multiple people with multiple points of view around a variation of furniture.
• Clear passages between rows of desks and dynamic chair movement should maintained a width of 24"-36"
(61 to 91 cm) with the overall distance between desks ranges between 78"-96" (198-244 cm)
