Understand daily activities
Explore when people need to concentrate, collaborate, make confidential calls or host clients. Separate these requirements before reducing desks.
Plan the supporting spaces
Shared desks need accessible storage, bookable rooms and clear expectations. Test the relationship between social areas and quiet settings to avoid conflicting uses.
Review after occupation
Ask teams what works once the space is in use. Booking patterns and staff feedback can help identify adjustments without assuming that every team works the same way.
