Even though floor plans aren’t as obviously spectacular as other architectural design elements, they are incredibly important to the outcome of your project. They oversee the seamless operation of the workflow and customer logistics and also have an impact on the interior design of your space. Finding the right floor plan requires careful consideration and tweaking on the part of the architect, as they are just as unique and customized as the construction itself.
Level X Company offers free counsel on how to design a space that will best support your group and the clientele’s experience!
1. Recognize the differences between privacy and openness.
While retail-oriented builds might benefit from a more open approach, certain builds, like funeral parlors, might need more secluded spaces in order to better tend to their customers. A thorough understanding of your company’s unique working methods is just as important to designing the perfect floor plan as comprehending the roles that privacy and publicity play in the industry or archetype in which your business operates.
For example, there is a wide range in office construction regarding the relative importance of open space versus more private areas. To create a floor plan that works for your team, you must comprehend how they collaborate with one another.
2. If necessary, expand the structure.
Considering the state of the world today, it may be difficult to envision where your company will be in, say, five years. If you know that you will eventually expand, at the very least, it will help you create a floor plan that will accommodate it.
All of us have seen builds with glaring additions or badly positioned features. These mistakes not only look bad, but they also severely reduce productivity and negatively impact both the customer and employee experience. Your build isn’t only for the immediate needs of your company. If you’re lucky and plan wisely, it will serve as your main area for many years to come.
3. Redundancy Of Mind
Using space efficiently is essential to designing a structure that benefits your business. Every space on the floor plan of your architectural design needs to have a distinct purpose that isn’t unnecessary or redundant.
For example, all businesses require a certain amount of storage space before those spaces become more appropriate for other uses, such as customer service, expansion potential notwithstanding.
