The brief

Make the brief about your business

Start with the reason for changing the office: what no longer works, and what needs to stay?

List the teams, equipment and activities the premises need to accommodate, including any production spaces.

Use these questions to turn those requirements into a brief.

Before settling on a layout

  • What does the office need to accommodate?
  • Which existing features and spaces should remain?
  • Where does the current arrangement cause difficulties?
  • How do working areas need to relate to one another?
  • Which decisions need resolving before work can be priced?
The service

Workspace planning for Hull businesses

Reconsider the office layout

Consider the relationship between working areas, circulation and the features of the existing premises.

GAD’s commercial work includes office layouts and redesign, developed around the client’s requirements.

Include breakout spaces in the plan

Set out how each breakout area will be used and how it should relate to nearby working areas.

Our office-planning experience includes breakout spaces alongside the main workspace.

Allow for specialist activities

Identify photography, audio or video production requirements early, including equipment and the relationship to everyday office work.

Discuss any specialist technical input needed as part of the brief.

Relevant project experience

Office-planning experience in York

GAD’s work for an e-commerce business in York covered office layouts, breakout areas, photography studios and sound and video recording studios.

The work included developing the design, detailed drawings and a tender package.

Discuss which parts of that experience are relevant to your Hull premises and what your own brief needs to include.

The appointment

Agree the design support you need

01 · Establish the brief

At the outset, we would discuss the problem you want to resolve, the information already available and the deliverables you need.

02 · Develop the design

An appointment may focus on developing the layout or include more detailed drawings and tender documentation.

03 · Agree further involvement

Project-management and construction-stage support should be discussed and expressly included where required.

A clear appointment helps distinguish the design work from the physical delivery of alterations, furniture or other fit-out elements.
