Workplace Consultancy: Space Planning & Interior Design

There is no single solution to designing an effective office. The solutions largely depend on your culture, management style, work activities and team interaction. We believe one size does not fit all, and so we offer a truly consultative approach to deliver the office that is right for you.

Our design team works with you to determine the best way to accommodate varied working styles by leveraging the right technology, interiors and designated working spaces. With hybrid working patterns changing, we have extensive experience in helping clients adapt their office environments to act as a hub for interaction and collaboration.

People Focused Design

To take an evidence-based approach to space planning and interior design, Cityspace offers a tailored workplace consultancy. At the core of this is a comprehensive audit of your employees’ feedback about the current office set up. Is the space productive, motivational and creative enough? Does it help or hinder the work they do?

Our approach varies depending on the complexities of your business. For companies of 50 people or more, the process includes a full work style audit and organisational study, tailored to the limitations of your office, technology, culture and budget for change. Asking detailed, measurable, considered questions uncovers genuinely actionable improvements. The better evidence we gather, the better your offices will be able to respond to the needs of your people.

Our Head of Workplace Strategy and Change Management works closely with one of our collaborating partners to ensure that change is adopted and considers all factors that are likely to influence the office design.

Evidence-Based Change

With the outcomes of the study, our interior design team determines the most efficient layout and design, incorporating latest design trends with ergonomic furniture and equipment that encourages both wellbeing and comfort. From the initial concepts through to final fit-out, the end result is a workspace that reflects your brand, values and culture – fit for the present and built to last into the future.

FAQs

Yes, we can. We can formulate a bespoke questionnaire to staff on how the current office space is used, what people struggle with and what needs fixing, and identify any environmental problems such as air conditioning, lighting or sun glare.

These surveys provide vital ‘back to the floor’ information, from whether individual workstations are configured correctly, through to auditing if meeting spaces are working well for colleagues and for clients.
For clients with complex or multi-site offices, we work with specialist partners and have conducted workspace audits and staff questionnaires worldwide.

Yes, we do. We know that clients want a productive workforce, in a motivational environment, designed in a way that fits the culture of the company. The goal of our work style consultancy is to find the solutions that work best for you and your teams, and make the most efficient use of your office space. We look at things like the suitability of the workstation environment, whether workstation layout is conducive to collaboration with others, and we also review the layout and use of both formal and informal meeting spaces.

Our approach depends on the complexity of your business. For companies of over 50 people, we can complete a full work style audit and organisational study, tailored to the limitations of your office, technology, culture and location. Smaller companies are unlikely to need a full work style study, and we can develop a bespoke plan by meeting your management team and discussing your requirements. If you’d like to discuss any aspects of workplace consultancy, please contact the Cityspace team.

We generally get involved in a change management project once the shape and size of the business have been determined by your management team. From this point, we can help you review your existing office space, based on current need and future growth plans, and prepare for you costs and timescales for any changes.
