CLOSED OFFICES
Closed office spaces are best for companies,
departments, or employees that need a high level of
privacy and/or confidentiality. Such as human resources,
legal and financial work. Professions that need greater
focus, such as, designers, programmers, engineers,
accountants, etc. also benefit from closed office spaces.
Closed office spaces provide space for client meetings.
Closed offices also provide decreased levels od
distraction and noise, greater workspace.
Communication flow and conversation among
Fig. 1
employees is limited and meetings are usually
FUNCTIONAL FEATURES scheduled. Learning through observation of colleagues
is very low.
• Privacy for work/meetings Closed office spaces create hierarchy and status level
• Less distraction - Greater thinking among employees, the higher in the chain of command
• Less noise - higher concentration the better the office. They also provide a more
• Greater workspace individualized sense, as each office is for a single
• Hierarchy and status employee (Cal Bennetts).
OPEN OFFICE SYSTEMS
Open office systems are best for organizations, such as
but not limited to sales and marketing, that need high
levels of collaboration. It is also good for office sharing
solutions or the need to maximize space and/or
accommodate more employees. Many organizations
use open office systems when the need for a more
cost effective use of real estate outweighs the risk of
lowering productivity, as open office systems can be
noisy and distracting.

communication. Increase team work. Employees can
FUNCTIONAL FEATURES see how business runs, leading to better understood
and clear project directions.
• Improved Employee communication Being that open office systems are mainly one large
• Facilitate collaboration room with the same if not similar workstations, for each
• Breaks down Hierarchy and status employee, regard to status and hierarchy are
• Mentoring from colleagues drastically decreased, providing a more equal work
environment (New Life Office).
CO-WORKING SPACES
Co-working spaces are communal work spaces. They
work best for freelancers, remote workers, and other
independent professionals. Co-working spaces have
individuals from many different companies, ventures,
and projects.
A variety of workstations are provided to
accommodate a variety of working needs from quiet
space so they can focus, or a more collaborative
space with shared tables where interaction is
Fig. 3 encouraged.
Co-working spaces offer a culture where people
FUNCTIONAL FEATURES help each other out and offer their unique skill sets to
others. Workplace competition or politics are
• Networking ability minimal. Coworking spaces are usually accessible
• Relaxed work/office environment 24/7. Each person can design their own work
• Multiple workstations that offer a schedule, much like an at home office but with a
variety of accommodations community atmosphere (HRB).
• 24/7 access

Workplace Issues

 Noise Level  Privacy  Ergonomics  Space  Down-Time

The five major issues observed were noise level, privacy, ergonomics, space, and down time. There
was a high level of echo observed from ringing phones and people speaking. Acoustical panels,
especially near workstations, would help lower the noise level. Privacy partitions around
workstations would help to increase privacy levels. Each panel would need to have the top
quarter in either a glass or clear plastic material as visibility is needed. A designated partitioned
area for consultations and a small closed office would greatly improve the privacy issue when
confidential conversations or work need to take place. Workstation surface area needs to be
increased as employees had to maneuverer items around to give themselves more work surface.
Increasing floor space around workstations is need as employees were observed maneuvering
around or bumping into one another. Since employees stand at their workstations mounting
computer screens on arms and having keyboards placed on adjustable surfaces will benefit each
employee, allowing them the ability to adjust height and tilt providing them more comfort while
working. Employees were extremely busy, implementing micro-breaks through-out the day would
be a great way to provide them with some down-time.
Workplace Adjacencies

All workstations, with the exception of the pharmacy manager’s workstation, were
shared workstations. The pharmacy manager’s work station is placed centrally
within the workspace. Two pharmacy technician workstations are placed to the
left and right of the pharmacy manger. Two additional workstations were upfront.
Shelving and cabinets surrounded the back and left sides of the workspace. Two
chairs and a small table are placed along the right wall, used for consultations.
Ergonomics and The Four Pillars

The Four Pillars of Ergonomics are support, reach, vision, and breathing. Ergonomic
workstations are designed to specifically address the four pillars. Ergonomic standing
desk stools would provide the employees with the support that is needed while standing
at their workstations. Adjustable surfaces and mouse tray would provide the employees
with ergonomically correct reach position. This will also provide greater work surface. To
help employees with vision and eye strain place computer screens on fully adjustable
mounted arms. Updated lighting with diffusers will also assist with vision issues. Placing a
air purifier at each workstation would help with breathing.
Interaction with Workspaces

 Storage - Customer files were all placed in filing cabinets, supplies were stored on shelving
under/above workstations, extra supplies or supplies not needed daily were stored in cabinets in back.

 Visual and acoustical privacy - There was no visual or acoustic privacy. Workstations are shared. The
noise level was high due to ringing phones and conversation.

 Work surface - Work surface was small, employees were shuffling items and their bodies.

 Electrical wiring and data cabling - All wiring and cabling were underneath workstations or wall/floor
perimeter.

 Storage tools and workstation amenities - Computers, phones, and needed supplies were provided at
each workstation.

 Seating - No seating was provided for employees.

 Lighting - Employees did not complain about glare on computer screens but lighting should be
updated and task lighting should be provided.

PROJECT STATEMENT

The flagship location for the M Hotel is located along the New Jersey
shore. It will offer luxury hospitality, as well as, co-working, networking,
conference, and meeting spaces. The first floor encompasses
approximately 4,000 square feet. This level will have shared offices,
workspace, collaborative and networking spaces, and conference
room available to the public. A self-serve kitchen, with twenty-four
hour access to coffee and beverage fountains, will be available for
guest use. A beautiful sculptural staircase will provide access to the
second floor. The second floor encompasses approximately 7,000
square feet. This level will have a reception area, server kitchen,
information technology space, and catering. There will also be hotel
employee space located on this level, such as, corporate offices,
workspace, meeting rooms and a conference room.
Design Solution Statement
The M Hotel will offer a grand and traditional style look.
Classical details, metals, and sparkle will provide a luxurious
feel. The outside will be brought inside with a color scheme
that borrows from the coastal surroundings. Soft and calming
blues with gold accents will be used throughout to provide a
cohesive and unified design among all spaces. Traditional
style office furniture will provide a sense of hierarchy between
offices. Glass partition walls will contrast the hierarchy feel
brought in with the furniture. The collection of traditional
design elements and furniture combined with up-to-date
technology and ergonomic factors will provide a timeless feel
while still providing today’s modern features and amenities.

CODE ANALYSIS
STAIRS - RISERS/TREADS
1009.3 Stair treads and risers Stair riser heights shall be 7 inches (178 mm) maximum and 4 inches (102 mm) minimum.
Stair tread depths shall be 11 inches(279 mm) minimum. The riser height shall be measured vertically between the
leading edges of adjacent treads. The tread depth shall be measured horizontally between the vertical planes of the
foremost projection of adjacent treads and at a right angle to the tread’s leading edge. Winder treads shall have a
minimum tread depth of 11 inches (279 mm) measured at a right angle to the tread’s leading edge at a point 12
inches (305 mm) from the side where the treads are narrower and a minimum tread depth of 10 inches (254 mm)

1009.3.1 Winder treads Winder treads are not permitted in means of egress stairways except within a dwelling unit

1009.3.2 Dimensional uniformity Stair treads and risers shall be of uniform size and shape. The tolerance between the
largest and smallest riser height or between the largest and smallest tread depth shall not exceed 0.375 inch (9.5 mm)
in any flight of stairs. The greatest winder tread depth at the 12-inch (305 mm) walk line within any flight of stairs shall
not exceed the smallest by more than 0.375 inch (9.5 mm) measured at a right angle to the tread’s leading edge

1009.3.3 Profile The radius of curvature at the leading edge of the tread shall be not greater than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm).
Beveling of nosings shall not exceed 0.5 inch (12.7 mm). Risers shall be solid and vertical or sloped from the underside
of the leading edge of the tread above at an angle not more than 30 degrees (0.52 rad) from the vertical. The
leading edge (nosings) of treads shall project not more than 1.25 inches (32 mm) beyond the tread below and all
projections of the leading edges shall be of uniform size, including the leading edge of the floor at the top of a flight
(IBC).
CODE ANALYSIS
STAIRS - HANDRAILS

Stair rail height should be 34 to 38 inches above the stair nosing

Handrails must extend 12 inches beyond the top riser and one tread depth plus 12 inches beyond the bottom riser

When handrails don’t continue to another level, they must return to the wall or the walking surface.

Only the portions of a stairway within 30 inches of a handrail counts toward the required width for egress capacity,
as calculated by the occupancy load

Handrails must be graspable. The minimum radius is 1¼ inches. Noncircular shapes are permitted. The overall
perimeter should be between 4-6 inches. Minimum distance from a wall is 1½ inches. Maximum projection from the
wall is 4½ inches. Handrail materials are typically wood, metal, or plastic. Tactile quality is important. Sharp edges
are not permitted, and edges should have a minimum radius of 1/8 inch (Space Planning Basics).

REFLECTION

I learned a lot throughout this course. The course began with learning about the
different types of work spaces and conducting interviews and site research. We
progressed into preliminary concept designs for a hotel. We then moved through the
design process, creating schematic designs, floorplans, RCP’s and FF&E’s. We even
designed a sculptural staircase. We then made a compilation of our entire project. It
was great to work on a design project from beginning to end.
This course has taught me the importance of the research needed for office design.
There is much more to designing and office than layout, furniture and finish
selections. All employee needs to be considered and met, along with what is
needed to complete tasks throughout a work day, and codes and regulations.
