The Open Office

This snapshot of The ArchPlan office recently taken with the mobile phone shows that there is no reception desk and that walking in from the elevator the visitor is right in the workspace that everybody at ArchPlan shares. No partitions, no cubicles. Clutter shows that this office is not a showcase but a place of exploration, improvisation and experimentation. Everybody can see and hear everybody and the boss has the same space allotment as everybody else. This allows easy collaboration, information sharing between different projects and team building in various formations, all aspirations and goals that express the firm's values.

The space is tall and allows lots of light through 20' high windows. For meetings and conferences there is a mezzanine from where the shot is taken.
