Create a productive and inspiring workspace with Sharp’s Office Space Planning experts

Office Space Planning 

In today’s modern working environment, hybrid working models and co-working spaces have become increasingly prevalent. These changes mean the way we use our offices, and workplaces is changing.   Space utilisation is an important consideration when it comes to office layout design. Organisations now face the task of creating flexible workspaces that cater to in-office, hybrid and remote employees.  

We have 50+ year's experience in office space planning. Over the years we’ve worked with organisations of all shapes and sizes to support them in modernising their workspace, enhancing efficiency and driving employee satisfaction.

What is office space planning?

Office space planning is the strategic process of organising and arranging office layouts to optimise the use of available space. Unlike general office design, which focuses on aesthetics, office space planning emphasises functionality and efficiency. This involves finding the best placement for workstations, integrated technology, meeting rooms, and communal areas to enhance productivity, communication and collaboration.  

Over time, office space planning has evolved significantly, adapting to changing work environments and technological advancements. Today, it is more crucial than ever, as organisations strive to create flexible, future-proof, efficient, and employee-friendly workspaces that accommodate hybrid working models and meet evolving needs.

Sharp’s office space design process

Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive analysis of your current space and your requirements to understand your needs and preferences.

Detailed Designs: We then create initial design concepts that align with your needs and incorporate key areas such as workstations, meeting rooms, and break areas. During this process we’ll create detailed floor plans, select appropriate furniture and plan the new and existing technology you’ll want to integrate.  

Installation: We establish a date and time that works for you and your working patterns. We’ll take control of the project from start to finish to ensure a seamless installation with minimal disruption to business as usual.  

Ongoing Support: We continue to support you post-installation, working for any additional IT, Print, Audio Visual and Workspace Planning requirements you may have.
