Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer

What is the neighborhood model of office space planning and how does it affect desk layout?

The neighborhood model organizes office space into zones (neighborhoods) aligned with teams or functions, rather than by hierarchical proximity. Each neighborhood has its own cluster of desks, a few small meeting rooms, a lounge/collaboration area, and shared storage — a mini-office within the office. Desk layout within each neighborhood is typically unassigned within the team zone, but teams know their territory. Benefits: teams feel a sense of place, managers can see their team, and resources are appropriately distributed.
