About this site
Your Office Design is an independent guide to planning and sizing offices. We build free tools and write plain-English guides, and we show where every number comes from.
What we do
- A free office layout planner, an office space calculator and a meeting room calculator.
- Practical guides to desk sizes, walkways, layouts, lighting, floors and reuse.
- Profiles of famous office buildings, with sourced facts.
Who we are not
We are not a furniture dealer, an interior design firm or an installer. We sell nothing and take no commissions on furniture. This web address was used by a different business in the past. We have no connection to that business, and we cannot help with its orders, quotes or services.
How the tools work
The planner and calculators run in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to us. Each tool shows the allowances it uses; where a figure is our own planning assumption, the page says so.
How we source numbers
We take rules and figures from the bodies that publish them: the UK Health and Safety Executive, OSHA, the US Access Board (ADA Standards), the International Code Council and the US EPA. We link each source at the foot of the page. Read our editorial policy for details.
