Why space planning is important!

February 3rd, 2012

There are lots of reasons why companies approach us for office space planning; they require extra room for an increase in headcount, their current space is inefficient, or they are thinking of consolidating offices.  Whatever the reason for needing our space planning services, we feel it is more than simply a case of re-arranging a few desks!

Give yourself a break…

January 6th, 2012

At Whitespace we are finding that more and more companies are recognising the need for breakout areas within the office environment.  A comfortable space where employees can relax and recharge their batteries without having to answer the phone or reply to emails is becoming an important part of the workplace; the breakout area can also be used to hold informal meetings.  The important thing is to determine what you actually want from the space, once this has been established an area should be created that is different from the rest of the workplace, a space where employees feel that they are having and benefiting from time away from their workspace.

So, whether you are looking to create a formal breakout area that can double up as a meeting area or a comfortable space for your employees to chill out, we are confident that we can deliver.  Contact us now for a no obligation quote.
