Space Planning

Space planning is the process of organising and arranging interior and exterior spaces in a way that maximizes their functionality and efficiency while also meeting the needs and preferences of the users. The primary goal of space planning is to create a space that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

GJS Design’s first step in Space Planning is to review the existing space and its existing features which will often require an initial survey. Working with the client GJS Design will identify the needs and preferences of the users, and develop a plan that optimizes the use of the available space. This plan may include the placement of furniture, equipment, and other items, as well as the design and layout of walls, doors, and other architectural features.

Space planning is important in a variety of settings, including residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. In residential spaces, space planning can help create a comfortable and functional living environment that meets the needs of the family or individual. In commercial spaces, space planning can help create an efficient and productive work environment that supports the needs of the business and its employees. In industrial & retail spaces, space planning can help ensure that equipment, furniture, materials and products are organised, positioned and designed to suit customers and staff to maximise efficiency and safety.

Effective space planning requires a thorough understanding of the space and its intended use, as well as knowledge of the principles of design, ergonomics, and functionality. It also requires consideration of factors such as natural light, traffic flow, and accessibility, as well as the needs and preferences of the users.
