At Thomas Interior Systems, we take a holistic approach in our office space planning by designing office workstations and work areas that take into account the needs of the individuals, as well as the teams with which they work.
Facility designer Darrell de Tienne suggests that the first implication of the project team approach for the facility is that "the individual workstation no longer works as a single cubicle and has extended past the four furniture partitions to project spaces." People who spend most of their time working in teams have less need for a self-sufficient individual workstation than they have for a variety of team settings.
Project teams need space where they can meet for several types of tasks. Some teams need quiet conference rooms, perhaps equipped with video or teleconferencing equipment. Some need meeting rooms that can be rearranged to accommodate both face-to-face discussions and shoulder-to-shoulder presentations. Others need bullpen settings, where team members can work individually at their own computer terminals or drawing boards, yet be in constant visual and verbal contact with other team members. Many teams need a combination of group settings since they engage in a variety of different activities in the course of their project work.
Individual used workstations in most conventional settings usually contain a chair or two for guests and perhaps a table for small conferences. Often, they'll house considerable storage, sometimes of items that are duplicated in several other individual workstations. There is no need for this duplication of conference and storage space in a well-designed project team area. All group activities are carried out in conference spaces shared among all the workers in the area, and any reference materials needed by more than one person are stored in a central resource area.
Through our office space planning, we not only help you create an attractive environment with our office furniture systems and office workstations, we help you create an atmosphere where everyone is more comfortable and more productive because we believe that an office that is put together well simply runs more efficiently and effectively.

We provide you with hundreds of configurations to choose from, with savings up to 85% off new prices.

It's been thirty years now. Thirty years since the first open-plan work spaces started replacing individual enclosed offices as a standard in the American workplace. Thirty years of progressively more compact workstations in progressively more densely populated work areas. Thirty years of office workers (as many as one in four, according to a recent British survey) complain about the acoustics in their workstations.
Change is rampant in North American enterprises—technological, social, demographic, economic, and political change at both global and local levels. Business realities are more tumultuous than ever before. Today's organizations are undergoing a fundamental transformation in the way they think about, organize, and carry out work in a global competitive economy.
The moves that constitute churn, which averages about 40 percent annually, typically occur due to companywide restructuring or to achieve greater efficiencies within and between departments. Developing strategies to manage churn-related facility costs and to minimize disruptions and downtime is essential for organizations that find it difficult to avoid churn because of the nature of their businesses. Facility managers and corporate real estate executives are likely to use tactics such as universal planning, free-address (unassigned) offices, spine walls, raised floors, flexible furnishings, zone distribution, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to address churn. In some cases, alternative workplace strategies, such as team environments, wireless networks, and telecommuting, provide a way to avoid the issue of churn altogether.
