Workspace Strategy

Effective space planning is essential for any business aiming to boost output and personnel satisfaction. With Vestra’s proper planning you can ensure optimal use of space, fostering an environment where team members can thrive. A well-thought-out workspace floor plan can lead to better collaboration and a happier workforce.

Understanding Your Needs

Identifying your unique needs is the first step in designing your new  workspace refurbishment. We take the time to understand and analyse your requirements to ensure the final product is both beautiful and functional. Our process includes:

Workplace Strategy

The initial phase of office workspace planning involves a thorough needs analysis. This means understanding your business’s specific requirements, considering the number of staff, the nature of their work and how different departments interact. 

This stage is crucial as it lays the foundation for a workspace plan that aligns with your business operations. By analysing workflows, departmental interactions and the daily routines of your staff, Vestra can create a workspace that supports productivity

Surveys and Interviews

To create a workspace that truly meets the needs of your workforce, it is essential to gather their input. We conduct detailed surveys and interviews with company personnel to gather insights on their workspace preferences and highlight pain points. 

This feedback is invaluable in understanding what works well and what needs improvement in your current setup. Employees often provide practical suggestions that can foster comfort and enhance overall satisfaction in the workplace.

Evaluating Inefficiencies

A critical part of our Workplace Strategy involves evaluating current workspace inefficiencies. This might include identifying areas that are underutilised, spotting traffic bottlenecks or recognising any ergonomic issues that could be causing discomfort or health problems. By pinpointing these inefficiencies, we can propose targeted improvements that will improve the flow of your office space.

Design Principles

Once we understand your needs clearly, we apply key design principles to ensure that your office space planning is both functional and visually pleasing.

Ergonomics

 These refer to an electrical system fit out in which the interior and exterior structures are designed, developed and installed during the first phase of the project. However interior facilities such as lighting, audio visual solutions, computers etc are not yet installed.

Flexibility

A CAT A fit out provides a basic, unfurnished electrical system ready for customisation upon occupancy. A CAT B fit out is similar, but instead completes the office set up by including electrical furnishing and facilities, such as computers and audio visual platforms.

Sustainability

If necessary, we can provide specialised fit out options that match your specific needs and preferences. Whether you work in retail, hospitality, medicine or something else entirely, you can trust our dedicated team to get it done.

Space Utilisation

Once we understand your needs clearly, we apply key design principles to ensure that your office space planning is both functional and visually pleasing.

Dedicated Activity Spaces

Creating dedicated spaces for different activities such as team projects, individual work and relaxation, ensures that all employees have environments suited to their tasks. Our office workspace planning includes quiet zones for focused work, collaborative areas for team projects and relaxing break rooms where employees can recharge.

Open-Plan Offices vs. Private Offices

Open-plan offices encourage teamwork and communication, fostering a collaborative atmosphere. Despite this, they can also be noisy and distracting when doing some tasks. 

Private offices and quiet zones provide spaces for focused work, ensuring your workforce has the quiet they need to concentrate. Vestra can help you balance these needs by creating a mix of open and private spaces that suit various work styles and activities.

Efficient Storage Solutions

Efficient storage solutions help keep the workspace organised and clutter-free. Our designs integrate storage systems that maximise space without sacrificing accessibility. Through built-in shelving and modular storage units, these solutions ensure that everything has its place, making it easier for employees to find what they need quickly and keep their workspaces tidy.

Integrating smart office technology can streamline operations. Automated lighting and climate control systems create a comfortable and energy-efficient workspace.

Smart office technology includes systems like automated lighting and climate control, which adjusts to occupancy and usage patterns to create a comfortable and energy-efficient environment. These technologies provide better and reduce operational costs by improving energy efficiency.

Digital collaboration tools facilitate teamwork, allowing employees to communicate and share information seamlessly, whether they are in the office or working remotely. Tools like video conferencing systems, shared digital workspaces and project management software support efficient collaboration and ensure team members stay connected.

A secure network infrastructure ensures reliable connectivity, which is essential for a tech-driven workplace. High-speed internet, robust Wi-Fi coverage and ample power outlets support a range of digital activities, from video conferences to data-intensive tasks. We ensure that your office has the necessary technological infrastructure to support modern business needs.

Workspace management software can monitor and optimise space usage, providing data-driven insights for continuous improvement. These tools help track how spaces are used, identify underutilised areas and suggest adjustments to improve performance.
