What's the most efficient desk layout for a 5-person team in one room?

For five people sharing one room, a cluster or pod layout typically works best. Position desks in a pinwheel or facing-pair configuration (two pairs facing each other plus one desk at the end) rather than in a straight row, which creates a long narrow arrangement that's harder for team communication. Allow 36"–48" between desk edges for comfortable chair movement and traffic flow. Total room size should be at least 400–500 sq ft for a comfortable 5-person shared office.
