office layout

Desk placement plan

Office layout is the arrangement of furniture, equipment, and spaces within a workplace.

Common types include open plan (minimal partitions), cubicle farms, and private offices.

Layout decisions balance collaboration, privacy, and efficiency: The new office layout puts all the developers in one area.

Companies periodically redesign office layouts to reflect changing work styles.
