Closed Office Environments
Culture of Companies that Use These Spaces
Closed office spaces are best used for companies that have a high level of autonomy and require more privacy for the workers. A closed office provides a reduction in noise and
distraction. (Singh) This type of office also allows for individualism of work styles. Within four walls, workers can complete their work in whatever way works best for each individual.
Plus, it is still possible to connect with others for spontaneous conversation and meeting throughout common spaces, halls, etc. There is a time for work, and a time for conversa-
tion. (Fanning) Another reason a closed office model may be applied is to “express the right balance between hierarchy and privacy in different organizations.” (Marmot, 108) This is
common, but becoming a bit dated.
Business Applications:
Hospitals- private offices are appropriate for seeing patients, and germs can be more contained.
Solicitors- Privacy is required when
clients are sharing information.
Communication between coworkers
is not especially needed. (Marmot)
Counselors- For the privacy of
patients, closed offices are required.
Departments- Companies may divide
departments with closed office spaces.
(Vogt)
Law Firms- Require privacy for deep
thought and planning Closed office space (Fanning)
Open Office Systems
Culture of Companies that Use These Spaces
Open offices can encourage fairness and transparency. The lack of walls saves money while encouraging openness and communication. (Howe) While this system
can be inconvenient due to the level of noise, there are ways to reduce this problem while keeping the benefits of an open office. (Adams) Organizations that use
open office systems may require a higher level of communication between
coworkers. Workers can easily see and hear each other. Creativity and spontaneous conversations can be more possible with an open office environment. An open
office system provides a brighter, less stuffy environment. Privacy is not a huge priority within open offices.

in-a-coworking-space/)
Case Study: Workplace Questionaire Interviews
Support
This is not an issue at this workplace. The chairs appear very comfy and supportive, and the workers interviewed reported little discomfort.
Reach
This could be improved. There is currently no wrist support at the computers.
Vision
This needs improvement. There is no glare mitigation plan in the office space, which causes eye strain.
Breathing
This is a big issue in this space, where many people are in one tight space. It is a bit dusty. The interviewed soldiers mentioned that when one person gets sick, everyone gets sick. Especially
because soldiers can not stay home when sick. They either report to work or go to “sick call”.
1. Not enough space or personal storage, too many people for the space
This averaged as the #1 complaint of the 5 people interviewed. The operations
assistant has his own office (as this is a management position held by a person who is about to be promoted), so this was not a major problem for his workspace. However, the 4 other perso-
nel share an area that appears to be a conference area, with little space to pass eachother.The work mode used by most personel here is high interaction with low autonomy.
Storage
Workers find their own storage areas, as there is not enough designated personal space.
Work surface
There is enough table space in the common area as well as the private offices. Work surfaces are used quite often.
Seating
There is enough seating on a typical day. Seating is supportive and comfortable, however tightly spaced.
Lighting
There is no glare mitigation plan. Lighting is used all day as there is not plenty of natural light. The fluorescent lights are easy to turn on and off.

The hotel office design will allow a seamless flow of productivity and positivitey.
Strategic space planning will be a top priority. The business work flow will be studied
rigorously to provide the best interior office systems. No department will be overlooked,
as each employee will be given what he or she needs to efficiently complete work. The
first floor will feature the coworking spaces, which are calculated to require about 1,000
square feet to allow for comfort and proper work flow. The second floor will include the
private and open corporate offices. Each private office will need about 200 square feet,
while the open offices will be allotted 100 square feet for each employee in their open
office. A focus on ergonomics and comfort will ensure the wellness of employees. A
vibrant style will encourage morale and joy within the workplace. Finishes and furniture
will comply with appropriate code while making an effort to respect the environment.
The hotel office will be the ideal place to get creative and meet exciting goals.

Design Solution Statement
The corporate offices and co-working spaces will be the perfect setting for creativity to flow.
The design will be inspired by the ocean, with a surprise around every corner. While whimsical
and bright, the design will be sophisticated and professional. Workspaces will meet the needs of
the users. For the co-working spaces, collaborative table seating, casual sofa seating, and small
mobile workstations will give the crew flexibility and options to fit different needs. The corporate
office will include open offices and private executive offices. The open offices will feature
comfortable workstations from reputable companies. The private offices will include quality desks,
and other furniture elements tailored to the needs of the employee. The health and wellness of
the workers is a top priority. Close attention will be paid to space planning, natural light,
ergonomics, and sustainability throughout the design. Natural light occurs in almost every work-
space. All seating will be Top-of-the-line ergonomic selections. Eco-friendly wall finishes, flooring,
and countertops will be applied. Proper space planning will contribute to a successful work
environment, and each adjacency need will be met. Consideration and application of safety
codes will reduce problems in the event of a disaster. Security measures, including pass codes for
confidential file rooms, communication systems, and security cameras, will protect the
business, clients, and employees. The Seabrook Estate Hotel and Conference Center Offices will
be a sought-after work environment.
