Modular office workstations are the fastest way to make office space work harder. This guide walks through a practical planning process used by LYNX space-planning consultants for corporate clients and distributors.
Step 1: Measure and Zone the Floor
Start with a scaled floor plan and mark windows, columns, power points, and escape routes. Divide the floor into four zones: focused work, collaboration, meetings, and support (printers, lockers, pantry). A typical 4:3:2:1 ratio works well for hybrid teams.
Step 2: Choose Your Module
- 1200 mm stations suit individual focused work with screens
- 1400 mm stations fit dual monitors and desk phones
- 1600–1800 mm stations support design or finance teams with large documents
- Standing-height modules create flexible touchdown areas
Step 3: Plan Circulation and Services
Keep primary aisles at least 900 mm wide and secondary aisles at 600 mm. Every bench row needs one power and data drop per station; LYNX integrated cable trays hide this under the worktop while keeping access easy for IT changes.
Quick Capacity Reference
| Floor Area | Recommended Stations | Module Width | Density |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 m² | 18–24 | 1400 mm | 10–12 m²/person |
| 500 m² | 45–55 | 1400 mm | 9–11 m²/person |
| 1000 m² | 90–115 | 1400–1600 mm | 9–10 m²/person |
Step 4: Allow for Reconfiguration
Choose linkable benches with tool-free joins so layouts can change overnight. Keep 10–15% of stations as flexible hot desks, and standardize on two or three module widths to simplify future orders.
