Strategic Office Layouts Designed for the Way You Work
Commercial Office Space Planning for Modern Workplaces
At Kansas City Office Design, we help businesses create offices that work as hard as they do. Our space planning team designs efficient, people-first layouts that improve flow, collaboration, and focus—ensuring every square foot of your workplace is used to its full potential.
Whether you’re reconfiguring an existing floor plan or planning a new location, we’ll guide you through test fits, adjacency planning, and power/data coordination to deliver a layout that balances comfort, productivity, and flexibility.
What Space Planning Solves
- Right-sized rooms & zones: Private offices, focus areas, collaboration spaces, and meeting rooms that match your headcount and workstyles.
- Better flow: Clear circulation paths that minimize bottlenecks and reduce noise spill.
- Seat planning & growth: Department adjacencies, hoteling, and future expansion baked into the plan.
- Code & comfort: ADA awareness, daylight access, acoustics, and ergonomic sightlines.
- Power & tech ready: Furniture footprints aligned to power, data, AV, and Wi-Fi coverage.
Our Space Planning Process
1. Discovery & Programming
We confirm team sizes, work modes, adjacencies, meeting needs, and future growth to define clear planning criteria.
-
2. Site Measure & Base Plan
Field verify dimensions, columns, glazing, doors, and utilities to create an accurate base for planning.
-
3. Test Fits & Iterations
Multiple layout options (benching vs. private, meeting mix, circulation strategies) to evaluate tradeoffs quickly.
-
4. Final Plan & Coordination
Lock in the preferred layout, then coordinate with power/data locations, life safety, and building requirements.
-
5. Hand-off or Next Step
Share a clean plan set—or move smoothly into Furniture Design & Specification for finishes, products, and install.
