A Gallery of Office Breakout Areas

A well designed office breakout area can enhance an office interior. Open plan floors can be humanized by reducing a 'factory' appearance. Productivity is often improved, and flexible spaces help companies to react to business changes. Office breakout spaces are also an increasing part of giving people the correct type of space for the differing tasks they do...activity based design...especially when interaction and collaboration within a company can be as much as 60% of a productive working day.

An office breakout area design is a method of embodying the culture of a company and creating time for team interaction away from a desk, but within the workplace.

One important tip for a successful breakout area is to make it feel inhabited....the personal touch seperates airport lounge from domestic lounge.

Designing an office breakout zone should start with the purpose of the space...a quiet but informal space, a lively and uplifting zone, spaces that support meeting rooms...all variations in breakout areas will have a different design approach. Clearly defining how a breakout space is to function will significantly improve the chance of getting it right.
