Contemporary Practice for Executive Offices: Glass or Nothing

A contemporary manager's office. It is not in the best-lit position—that position is reserved for the open workspace; the room itself is not large, three sides are glass partitions allowing people inside to be seen, with only one solid wall; inside is a desk of the same specifications as others, a few chairs for discussion, and a small round table. Alternatively, the manager may not have a private room at all, simply sitting at a workstation in the open area. Avoid: placing the manager's office in the best window corner, using solid walls and a large door to create a closed, authoritative space, using obviously higher-grade furniture and materials, or making the room larger than a meeting room.

一間當代的主管辦公室。它不在最好的採光位置——那個位置留給開放工作區;房間本身不大,三面是玻璃隔間可以看見裡面的人,只有一面是實牆;裡面是一張與其他人相同規格的桌、幾張討論用的椅子與一個小圓桌。或者主管根本沒有獨立房間,只是坐在開放區的一個工位上。避免:把主管室設在最好的窗邊角落、使用實牆與大門做成封閉的權威空間、使用明顯高一階的家具與材料、把房間做得比會議室還大。
