Space Planning

Space planning is the process of translating a workplace brief — headcount, work modes, adjacency requirements, and brand guidelines — into a functional floor layout. It determines where workstations, meeting rooms, collaboration zones, support spaces, and circulation sit relative to each other and relative to the building's core, windows, and structure.

Good space planning is a discipline, not just drawing desks on a floor plan. It involves: blocking and stacking (which team sits where across multiple floors), adjacency matrices (which teams need to be close), circulation analysis (the shortest route from desk to most-used meeting room), and headcount flexibility (how does the layout adapt if the team grows by 20%?). In an Indian GCC context, space planning must also address local working culture norms while meeting global brand standards.
