About this layout

This open office puts about 36 desks in pods of two to four across one large floor and lines the walls with the rooms that support them: a conference room for ten, a break room with a kitchen run and small tables, a reception desk by the entrance, a print and copy area, storage, and separate men’s and women’s restrooms. There are no focus booths, so calls happen at desks or in the conference room. The drawing has no dimensions; at a typical 100 to 150 sq ft per person the floor would be roughly 3,500 to 5,000 sq ft.

Design tips

Give each person at least 4.6 × 2.5 ft of desk; benching below that width makes monitors and elbows compete.
Keep 4 ft between neighbouring pods so someone can walk past a seated person whose chair is pushed back.
Provide one enclosed space per six people at minimum — without them, calls happen at desks and the whole floor loses focus.
Put the meeting room on an internal wall and the desks near the windows, not the other way round.
Break long desk runs at four people; beyond that a bench reads as a row of terminals rather than a team.

Recommended furniture and dimensions

About 36 workstations plus shared rooms. The pod spacing and per-person desk width are the figures that set the floor dimensions.

Workstations

Item	Dimensions	Why this size
Bench Desk (per person)	4.6 ft (W) × 2.5 ft (D)	Carries a monitor, laptop and notebook without the three overlapping.
Desk Pod	Two to four desks	Pods of four in a cross, with smaller pods of two along the walls.
Task Chair	2.2 ft diameter	Needs 3.0 ft behind the desk edge before the aisle begins.
Aisle Between Pods	4.0 ft clear	Pull-back space plus a walking route; 3 ft forces people to squeeze past.

Meeting Room

Item	Dimensions	Why this size
Meeting Table	10.0 × 3.6 ft	Seats ten, four per long side and one at each end; allow 3 ft clear on every side.
Meeting Chairs (10)	2.0 ft (W) each	Wider than a task chair, so ten need a room of at least 17 × 10 ft.
Wall Display	4.6 ft (W)	On the short wall so every seat has a usable viewing angle.

Break Room

Item	Dimensions	Why this size
Kitchen Run	8–10 ft, 2.0 ft (D)	Sink and hob along one wall of the break room.
Café Tables	About 2 ft diameter each	Round tables and a stool counter for short breaks.

Shared Storage

Item	Dimensions	Why this size
Print and Copy Area	—	Enclosed area with a copier, next to the storage room.
Storage Room	—	Beside the print and copy area, near the entrance.

Colour and lighting

Colour scheme

Neutral across the open floor with colour used to mark the enclosed zones — it helps people read the plan at a glance and find the quiet spaces without being shown.

Lighting notes

Even ambient light across the desk floor at a consistent level, with the conference room and break room on separate circuits so they can be dimmed independently. Avoid downlights positioned directly above monitors — they reflect straight into the screen.
