New ideas how to design modern offices. What are the main steps to do it?

New ideas how to design modern offices.  In European countries and in USA employers think about how to use  alternative energy in their offices, and also advise to give the empty office to colleagues.

Russian market of office real estate is still far from the European standards. In office rooms often there aren’t even basic things, for example normal temperature condition.

First to think, then to act

The best way to receive a comfortable office is to think about everything when you start to design new office. After the building is built, it is quite difficult to change something. But some optimization can be made which will help to save 10–15%.

“About the Vienna state opera is a very heavy traffic, approximately as in Moscow. And now present that in the opera the bulb, and ladders that to replace it, no fused. This ladder should be born from the neighboring room. You represent? It is necessary to think everything out: whether there is an opportunity somewhere to store a ladder?” – Redlyayn gives an example.

Often the territory of the building doesn’t assume a place for replacement of pipes that also creates a number of inconveniences. It is also necessary to have idea as there will be a cleaning of office and whether it is possible to ensure safety of all floors and corridors. And when the decision on a building facade is made, it is necessary to think of, whether it is possible to clean it in the habitual way or for this purpose the special equipment is required.

Give the empty office to colleagues

The office has to be flexible: some companies want to occupy one floor, others – a half of floor. In the sphere of real estate there are a lot of companies which do something by tradition. This was normal ten years ago and let’s continue to do so. But it is wrong to do so.

To professors, architects and representatives of other professions who travel a lot, the western experts advise to leave the personal offices and to make them general. The most time it’s empty.

We have the stereotype that if you have no office you are not serious.  And on the contrary, the higher the status, so the office is bigger. But if you are always traveling, what for you need an office? Why not to use, it, for example, as the conference hall for negotiations? Why not to share it with others?It is necessary to approach more flexibly use of office space. But it should be taken into account that it  should clean the general room more frequent, especially if it is used as conference hall for negotiations.

Too strong conditioners working

In many buildings the sun strongly heats the room because it’s used  a lot of glass in design of modern office . Besides, in office there are a lot of screens, monitors, printers and people. Therefore the room first of all needs to be cooled. But in some offices on the contrary, it’s very cold. On cooling the office a lot of money is spent which could be saved.

To build the office-center correctly according to the sun.

Before beginning to build every building it’s necessary to find the right place according the sun. As a result you’ll save money for heating and cooling the rooms there.

Green office

Renters in Europe  more often ask owners of buildings if there are alternative sources of In some countries every second private house uses solar batteries or other sources of alternative energy. Now this tendency extends on offices. However so far in  Russian offices the only symbolical box for collecting empty batteries is put which is empty for months.
